    Can substitute tamari for soy sauce, extra-firm tofu or shiitake mushrooms for five spice marinated tofu, and kohlrabi for celery. See recipe for greens suggestions.

    I was surprised how flavourful this recipe turned out. Simple and delicious. Very chicken-y. (Used torn tofu which i fried up before the veg).

    Great flavor. Loved the cooked celery. Would try with gai lan next time instead of power greens for a more robust green. Not crazy about the tofu but it was fine.

    had to roast my own cashews and they got a bit overdone (def do closer to 10 min instead of 15 in toaster oven), but really liked how this came together

    This is delicious and light. I used kale for the greens, which I blanched first, doubled the tofu because it needed using, increased the celery and sauce by one third, and decreased the cashews by half. The finished dish is texturally interesting and flavorful. I’ll happily make this again.

    This was fine… a little boring. I used 10 oz of tofu so I could use the whole package- maybe should have doubled sauce ingredients.

    Well-seasoned, flavorful stir-fry. I used gai lan for the greens and a plain firm tofu since I couldn't find five-spice marinated tofu. This was a repeatable, easy dinner.

    Substituted mushrooms for tofu and used spinach for my greens. Very tasty dish and a lovely use of celery.

    Another great recipe. We used bok choy as the green since we had it on hand. I was worried about the amount of alcohol in the sauce but the flavor was outstanding! Great way to use celery you have on hand.
