This sounds great. You should have made it a Meatless Monday post!
Looks good! And even more appetizing since it’s a pretty quick dinner fix🙂
OMG that looks amazing!
My gluten free baking has not been successful! Its been hard finding gluten free, low calorie baking recipes. This looks really yummy and inspired me to hop back on the band wagon!
I just made your recipe with one change. First: delicious. Really good recipe. Second: I switched out corn flour for the cornstarch. The tofu came out very crispy and nicely browned. Thank you!
