This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out too sweet. I think I added too much sugar.

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this dish. The caramelized pineapple was the perfect complement to the tofu's mild flavor.
