    Incredible!
    I replaced the fish oil with sesame oil and it was awesome. This one is definitely a keeper. - 6/18/10

    FIsh sauce is something I don't have on hand either, but the recipe sounded so good I tried it without. It was fantastic! I sent some to a girlfriend and made a separate meal for our husbands (not fans of tofu). Her husband tried it and liked it so much I had to give her the recipe! - 6/29/09

    this sounds perfect! I never use fish sauce so needless to say I didn't have any around so thanks Drgnflygrl1 for the input. I definitely have red pepper flakes!

    Thanks for sharing everyone!

    Incredible!
    I followed this method, but I was starving so I ate half the package of tofu, 200 grams, plus a cup of broccoli and 6 baby carrots. I cooked the tofu last and I used cooking spray instead of oil. I also used package stir fry sauce instead of the other ingredients, save garlic. Easy to manipulate! - 1/29/09
