I just made this. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. I ate it plain and dipped it in bbq sauce. Would probably be better on rice. And it was a little too garlic-y for me, I'll probably use slightly less garlic salt next time.

A good dipping sauce would be lemon and soy sauce, then eat it with brown rice.

No such thing!

Who ever heard of such a thing?

Michael has a fiance now.... there IS too much thing as too much garlic ;-)

I don't understand how the smell of garlic came to be a BAD thing....

just a side comment: if you roast the ingredients above (sans tofu), it makes a good topping for noodles... just put less flour and salt.



and i agree with ren, you can never have too much garlic...

The tofu cubes will be crispier if you sub cornstarch for the flour.



Then add a side of mashed potatoes, pour yummy vegan gravy over both, add some steamed baby carrots and snap-peas - ta-dahhhh... dinner!

i am going up to make this now. but with a side of green beans. and ill put out dfifferent sauces to dip.

thanks!

mmm, these sound yummy. I am going to have to try them.

Thanks for posting this - it got me out of my boring tofu funk!

I made this a few nights ago along with some rice and rajma masala

I used well-pressed and frozen (then thawed and slightly pressed again) tofu cut into triangles and subbed the flour with cornstarch - and used a little extra garlic

Is it really crispy?

I can never seem to make tofu crispy for some reason. haha
