VERY good, just like the stuff from the place I order in from. I used agave nectar instead of honey, but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Everyone loved this and after only making it once my husband raves about it to his friends. Thanks!!

I don't know if I did something wrong, but I really didn't like this. The sauce had such a strong vinegar flavor it was inedible to me. My husband really liked it though, so maybe I'm just overly sensitive to the rice wine vinegar. I might try it again with just 1 tbsp of the vinegar.

Omg! Why doesn't this have a million 5-star reviews?!! I am eating this dish while I write and must rave about the delightfully sweet (with a hint of heat and sourness) sauce and the fabulous tofu with a crispy crunchy exterior and creamy smooth interior. Yum, yum, yum.

Very good. I like the idea of dusting the tofu with cornstarch. It makes the tofu fry much nicer than if it wasn't used. I used a deep fryer to fry the tofu cubes. This recipe turned out good for me, and I enjoyed it very much.
