    Yumo!

    laura from Jacksonville NC

    I have to say..I did make a few changes...(my hubby dosen't like Tofu) so we used chicken. This made a lovely light dinner that still filled you up. Will make this more often and a nice change to your typical dinner...the toppings have endless possibilities.

    I have bookmarked this interesting looking recipe. But I intend to put it on spinach leaves and substitute home made firm goat cheese for the marinated tofu. I hope these changes not ruin the spirit of the dish.
