Tofu Peanut Stir-Fry image

This is absolutely the best way to eat tofu, especially for first timers. The tofu has a slightly crunchy exterior while the inside is nice and soft. I used to make my stir-fry with chicken or beef, but my husband won't have it any other way than tofu now! And my 2 year old loves it! It is a delicious, easy, quick, and inexpensive meal. Serve with Asian noodles or with steamed rice. Enjoy!

This dish is a bit too expensive for my budget. I would probably only make it on special occasions.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stir-fry turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm not a big fan of peanut sauce, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce is creamy and flavorful, but not too heavy.
