    We've now made this recipe twice in two weeks, and it's clearly a winner! My husband was raving through the whole meal.
    I doubled the recipe of marinade and marinade the tofu and the pepper for several hours. The tofu really soaked up the marinade because I had first 'dried out' the tofu on paper towels. My husband is always looking for a nice 'crust' on the tofu, so I pan-fried the tofu instead of baked. (Perhaps grilling would create this crust? When the tofu had browned, I added the pepper and 1/4 c. of peanut sauce and stir-fried it together.
    The acidity of the marinade balances perfectly with the rich peanut sauce (which is absolutely awesome. And I had topped each serving with chiffonade Thai basil... so aromatic.
    A great dish... my husband has requested keeping this on the weekly roster!

    I made this grilled. The sauce ended up not being as tasty as its wonderful aroma. Generally I like a strong curry flavor, but the curry seemed to overwhelm the peanut. I will try it again, though. It was so simple to make.

    I've never tried cooking tofu before and I tried this recipe for the first time the other night. Both my husband and I loved it - he even went back for seconds! I cut back on the peanut butter just a bit and added more cayenne to suit our taste. I cut the tofu in strips, roasted it in the oven and served it warm with sides of jasmine rice and steamed broccoli. Will definitely cook this dish again!

    The sauce is fantastic! I used sunflower butter from Trader Joe's. Oh my god anything (even tofu is good with a little sauce.

    This recipe is a good start. I marinated the tofu for about 6 hours and then put the tofu on the grill. My observations and suggestions:

    I will roast next time. The grill turned out to be a mess using skewers (perhaps a grill box would work?. The p-nut sauce was too much like melted p-nut butter to me - no depth. It was also too thick. I'll cut back on the p-nut butter and perhpas add a bit more cayenne. Will try again with the hopes that I can improve it to the 5 star rating.

    When I 1st saw this recipe I couldn't wait to try it. I'm so soooooo sorry I did! The sauce was a little to thick for my taste, and it only tasted like peanut butter. I fixed it, but it was still nasty!

    Very tasty and healthy. I baked the tofu marinating few hrs and with marinated overnight. The spices are absorbed by the tofu if I keep it overnight. The sauce is delicious.
