Didn’t crisp as well as hoped and flavor was a little bland though I might not have let it marinate long enough. Not bad but not great.

I don’t really like tofu but I am trying to go vegan mainly for health reasons it’s better for you I don’t think humans were created to digest meat. And since I have the last three months than vegan and shortly there after it’s amazing how much better you feel. A world of difference. That being saidI made this with no problem. I think it was probably the most I’ve ever enjoyed tofu. I did fry it a little longer then the recipe calls for. And I mixed a little peanut sauce with the tangy sweet-and-sour sauce for dipping. I also baked zucchini asparagus and carrots with vegan Parmesan cheese grated on top. And the coconut rice. It was an amazingly delicious meal. Thank you so much🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🥗🙏🙏👍👍🥰🥰🥰

The tofu came out great but a little too salty for me - next time I make it I’ll cut back on soy sauce otherwise, very easy to make and the tofu was nice and crispy- thank you!

Great, easy recipe! I didn’t have maple syrup, so I sprinkled in some brown sugar. The coconut oil and the sesame seeds really make it! The steps may seem extensive but they are really easy.

I used Jamaican wild lemon and honey for this marinade and it was top notch!

It was ok. Crispy on outside but not as firm on the inside. Next time I will make some sort of dipping sauce to got with it

great way to make tofu if you dont enjoy the spongy texture. it also works great with flour instead of cornstarch

No more takeout for me! This turned out even better and more crispy than the fried tofu at my usual Asian food spots, and was effortless to prepare. I did burn it slightly the second time I made it, but with the lemon flavor, it it reminded me of a blackened fish taco. This recipe is going to be a new staple.

It's tasty. I used rice flour instead of cornstarch and turned out great!

This is soooo good. I've only recently found out that I love tofu and it works as a pretty cheap protein option when strapped on cash. Boyfriend loved it and is extremely picky. 🤗

the flavor is very good, but it will be awesome to have the video of how to do it.
