    My first tofu recipe and i loved it. I added it garlic and substituted Mrs.Dash for the chinese five spice powder. I didn't have any stir-fry sauce so i put soy sauce and lemon juice instead a 4:2 ratio for 1/4 cup. Mine was without the chestnut so i put broccoli.Very Yummy even my mother loved it. - 2/22/10

    Instead of the 5-spice powder (which I didn't have), I used Mrs. Dash for seasoning. Very delicious. - 11/13/09

    I marinaded the tofu for flavor and did not use the stir fry sauce. I recommend Nasoya.com for tofu tips. I learned how to press water from the tofu, the marinade recipe, and how to brown and crisp the tofu for stir fry. http://www.nasoya.com/tofu-u/ - 1/22/15

    I tried this recipe adding balsamic vinegar to the marinade and Agave Nectar instead of honey. Also in addition to veggies mentioned I used broccoli florets, slivered carrots with red peppers and baby corns. I also did not have Chinese five spice powder so used Mrs Dash seasonings.GOOD! - 6/23/11
