    Delicious - I loved it. A great weeknight tea and I'll definitely make it for vegetarian friends in the future. I did tweak it by seasoning the flour I dusted the tofu pieces with, and added some very finely sliced peppers to the onion/chilli/ginger. Served with asian style green beans.

    yum! make sure you press the excess liquid out of the tofu first. can be served on rice, or steamed veg, or mix in finely sliced cabbage and carrot with a grain.
