Such a hearty and flavorful vegetarian dish. It is comfort at its best!
Unfortunately I cannot eat tofu. That being said, when I did try it once… I really liked the texture.
Raymond, I know what you mean about being difficult sometimes to find special ingredients. I like Mexican cooking but it’s not easy to find the dried or fresh chiles in Australia. I see that you can order your Silken Tofu from Amazon- how convenient!
Very nice, I adore tofu and always appreciate a good, wholesome recipe where tofu is the star. Thanks for sharing 🙂
