  Pretty darn tasty. It was nice to find a recipe that I can cook for a reasonable price as I'm currently living in Japan and food here is not cheap. (I'm talking, for example, upto £3 per apple if you're stupid enough to shop in places like that. It was your average Japanese grown apple, no special importation local to the area!) Although I used regular soy sauce in place of tamari (not really sure what this is but in Japanese tamari means 'to collect' or 'to resist') and left out the orange juice as I've yet to find a decent one. A tasty recipe to say the least. :D

  This was really lovely. I discovered a great way to cook tofu as I think it needs all the help it can get - give this a try! - Slice tofu and pat dry; dip slices in a beaten egg and then sesame seeds; shallow fry until golden; add a couple tbsp soy sauce to the pan and turn the tofu until all the soy is absorbed. Crispy and delicious! I also substituted broad beans for edamame, and lime juice for OJ.
