This is a fantastic recipe and a go to for me when I don't have a lot of stuff left in the fridge.
This is very good. I think next time I would either skip the cornstarch or dry the tofu much more before that step.
Didn't have coleslaw mix so made this with just shredded romaine, carrots, and lettuce. Loved it! The only thing I would change next time is to reduce either or both the peanut butter and brown sugar, because the sauce was a bit too thick/creamy, but otherwise--perfect!
mmmm. made it with wow butter instead of peanut butter and still super good. My 16 month old didn't like it though, probably too spicy for her. But I loved it!
Have made this several times, and look forward to making it again!
This was awesome! I don't like peanut butter so we tried it with almond butter instead. Delicious!
