Despite the tofu and vegetables, its not the healthiest meal though, so it'll be more of an occasional meal. The tofu is fried and there's lots of sugar in the sauce, but who cares when its that good ;)

Move over Billy...
there's a new love in my life! And while it may not be able to warm up my feet the way you do, it sure is yummy. General Tao's tofu from Vegweb is amazing! I am usually reluctant to put tofu cubes in stirfries because its just too mushy for my taste. This recipe took care of that. The tofu is coated in cornstarch and then fried, so it gets a super-crispy outer covering. And the sauce is so good, its a good thing I doubled it ;) This is just like something you would get in a restaurant. I changed a few things; I added some frozen peppers to the sauce, and used red onion instead of green onions, and I mixed in some steamed broccoli and cauliflower. I served it all over white basmati rice. I love basmati, its my favourite type of rice, its just so fragrant.

No problem, speedvegan. I hope you make it soon, I'm sure you'll have some great changes for it (maybe healthier choices!)
Thanks Megan, I was getting sick of looking at myself, so I just picked one of many kitty pictures for the time being ;)

Hey I just received your comment on my blog, it is brand new and I am so excited someone is looking at it. ANyway I must say your photos looks gorgeous, I def need more practice on taking mine. Yours will be another blog I will check out daily. Thanks for the feedback.
Absolutely agreed - that recipe is amazing : )
I've only made it once, but I need to break it out again after having kung pao seitan out not too long ago.

No problem, brown. I remember when I first started blogging, I never knew if anyone was reading it, so I thought I'd let you know ;)
Jess, this will definitely by a repeat meal!
Yum - this looks delicious! I love crispy tofu, as well (no mush for me, thanks).
Is that Logan in your new profile picture? If so, he really does look just like Dexter!
kati, yes it is. I showed Billy the picture of Dexter on your blog today and he also agreed they look very alike.

Very true raising_kahne. Thanks, he is a cutie, just mildly annoying most of the time! He seems to be nocturnal, and since our apartment is just one open room, when he plays, we get to hear it when we're trying to sleep ;)
