  Delicious, but it would only serve four if they weren't very hungry!

  We all found this very bland. My attempt acually looked like the picture but there was not enough red pepper or marinade and it was crying out for some real flavour, texture and heat. Will not be making again. If you do try, suggest extra red pepper and doing 50% more marinade - and try adding some chilli (and maybe some toasted cashew nuts?)

  I enjoyed this. I doubled the marinade (liquids only - not the five spice) and added some chilli flakes. I reduced the marinade down to an almost sticky consistency. It tasted really good! I would def cook this again, I would probably use less chilli flakes and a bit more honey, perhaps a few sesame seeds too for texture. I seasoned with salt and pepper - it isn't mentioned but it really needs it.

  I revisited one of my back issues and stumbled across this recipe which I made this evening. By far the poorest dish I've made in 4 years as a subscriber. The noodles, pepper, spring onions and dressing were just about edible (if you don't mind the grittiness that's left from the 5 spice in the dressing) however the tofu was incredibly bland. If this is your first time with a tofu recipe please avoid as this will put you off for life! A well marinaded piece of tofu in a dish can be fantastic e.g. A Red Thai Curry / Tofu Rendang. Avoid at all costs!!
