Comments on: Broccoli Almond Sweet and Sour Tofu http://veganyumyum.com/2007/04/broccoli-almond-sweet-and-sour-tofu/ Yup, I'm back.

I guess I’ll start by saying it tasted great and the sauce had the fabulous gooey consistency of Chinese take-out, so that was good. However, I had a lot of problems with the tofu. It requires tossing the cut pieces in Ener-G egg replacer and water, and then cornstarch to give a nice coating before frying them. While I did this I became well on my way to making a nice tofu paste. I’m guessing I didn’t press my tofu enough and there was still too much moisture to make this work correctly. Next time I will definitely make more of an effort (this little kitchen gadget looks fabulous for this purpose, btw–it will be on my Christmas list). I also placed the tofu in a bowl and attempted to coat it by stirring; this was not a good plan. I should have gone the shake-in-a-bag (or tupper) route, I think this would have worked much better. Then, since my coating wasn’t very uniform, and in many parts non-existent, the tofu didn’t fry up very well and I had a big mess in my wok.

I am not much of a cook at all (my husband is a FANTASTIC one and a carnivore deluxe to boot) and I thought I would give this recipe a try. It turned out great, we both loved it. Thank you for posting it and thank you for giving me the motivation to try something in the kitchen! I am going to see what else I can do now...
