NOTES & TIPS

(1) Soy Sauce. I use regular soy sauce by the brand Kikkoman. This can be substituted with a low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos.
(2) Sriracha. I use the brand Huy Fong. You can substitute with another chili garlic sauce.
(3) Rice Vinegar. If you can’t find this, you can substitute with white vinegar or your favorite type of vinegar.
(4) Sweetener. Use your sweetener of choice, like honey, brown sugar, or a sugar substitute. I use erythritol, which is a sweetener with negligible impact on blood glucose or insulin.
(5) Serving. Serve hot, with sides like Asian cucumber salad or chicken satay with peanut sauce.
(6) Carbs. The nutrition calculation assumes you are using erythritol or a similar sweetener that uses sugar alcohols, whose carbs are non-impact and therefore not included in the nutrition estimate. Apps that count sugar alcohols will show a higher number of carbs.

I was sceptical about this but it was so lovely! Had it with the suggested cucumber salad and it felt very ‘naughty’. Will make again

I’ve never cooked tofu before, but it was surprisingly easy! This was delicious and full of flavor. I served it over cauliflower rice. Yum! (Next time, I will probably add some extra veggies, but it was really good the way it was, too.)

Update: I accidentally put 4 stars, but I meant to click 5 and I can’t figure out how to change it. Sorry!

This was very good, fast and easy to make. I used just ne tablespoon sriracha and forgot the mayonnaise but we liked it a lot. Will definitely make again.
