Great recipe. Just tried this recipe and it has so much flavor. Really impressed!
This looks fabulous Magie – thank you 🙂 can’t wait to try it.
I just have a little question and would so value your opinion. I like tofu but I don’t use it as often as I should. My friend says that it’s high in fat so beware….doesn’t look that high in fat to me. I have trouble with beans because they upset my gut quite badly so my options are few. I would be grateful to know your thoughts on this.
I made this for dinner this weekend and it was SO YUMMY! We all loved it!
This looks great! I love making Chinese food at home 🙂
