    really good and fresh! would honestly 1.5x or double the sauce though, and eyeball as much cabbage as you want (my cabbage was way too much and I didn’t use it all). also would use 2 oranges next time, they really got lost amidst all the cabbage

    Very good. I think the tofu needs a bit more flavour - next time I would try marinating it in soy sauce before frying. And it needs twice the orange segments for the amount of cabbage. Dressing is DELISH.

    Found it really tasty the first time but less so with the leftovers. Starting to think that Justine's recipes work best fresh as this was similar with the celery salad (which is better imo). Agree with Emily, this was just pretty good and the tofu needed more flavor. If I make again - and I might bc I like cabbage and ginger - I may sub crumbled teriyaki style chicken or seitan for the tofu.

    This was really delicious. Based on notes from others, I doubled the sauce and mixed some in with the tofu before cooking. I also only used one clove of garlic, just because raw garlic is really pungent to me. Could double the orange next time.

    This was pretty good, if not mind-blowing -- I liked the sauce a lot, though it got lost a bit on the cabbage. I was cooking for fewer, so halved the cabbage but made the whole sauce recipe and saved half to drizzle over the tofu (which needed the flavor boost). Served with brown rice and avocado. Didn't bother with boiling water for the cashews since we have a vita mix, and that was fine. Reduced garlic to one (hefty) clover and that was plenty at this time of year.

    We loved the cabbage and orange slaw combined with the sauce. I would make more sauce next time to dress the tofu.
