Absolutely fabulous. Wasn’t keen on the tofu at first but in this recipe it is fab. The whole meal was stunning even though I say so myself
Was delicious, obvs!
This all looks delicious, Steve - nice work! We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed it. Happy spicing!
DELICIOUS! Subbed chicken for tofu as rec'd. It was fun to make the pot stickers; and they were still very good cold from the fridge the next day.
We're so glad to hear how much you enjoyed this dish - happy spicing!
