    Can substitute basil for cilantro.

    Marinate the tofu cubes 2-3 hours, bake on parchment for ~30”, add sauce gradually to final mix, may not need all.

    One of my favorite recipes in the book - I look forward to making it every summer when corn is in season. It’s easy, even for me who struggles a lot with stovetop cooking, especially frying tofu. The flavors are excellent, with just the right level of spice.

    This was fairly tasty and made a lovely light, summery weeknight dish. My husband, who does not usually like tofu, loved this and asked me to make it again. I luckily didn't run into trouble pan-frying the tofu.

    Delicious and lovely to look at. I had misgivings about pan-frying the tofu, and indeed, it smoked up the house (we have no vent hood) despite fans and open windows, but the resulting texture was excellent - nice crust on the outside, chewy on the inside. Next time, though, I'll bake or grill the tofu to avoid the smoke, and maybe season it a bit more or marinate it beforehand. I doubled the recipe, used one less serrano for my toddler's sake. I like ksg518's idea of using shrimp; next time might double it and use half shrimp, half tofu. Cilantro was all I had time to chop up, but mint would also be very good (along with basil).

    This is really good. I made it as directed except I used cut up tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes would be better because they will hold their shape better but I needed to use up what I had. If you don't want to go the tofu route, I think this would be good with shrimp. This sauce is great!
