This stir-fry was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I made this stir-fry with some chicken instead of tofu, and it was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were tender-crisp.

This stir-fry was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I loved the combination of asparagus and tofu in this stir-fry. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was also very flavorful.
