This was a hit. Would be good with any vaguely oriental dinner.

Relatively tasteless, but helped by liberal application of sambal. Recipe has the ingredients not in the order used, annoying. Since we have no scallions/green onions here, I used a shallot instead; the green of the tops would have been a nice addition of color. Somewhat less tofu would be fine too.

Instructions badly presented. Quite quick to make. Tasty, and improved with a bit of sambal.
