This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish, or perhaps a different cooking method. The tofu was also a bit bland. Overall, I was not impressed with this dish.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The fish was cooked well and the tofu was soft and silky. However, I found the sauce to be a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using a little less soy sauce next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked a bit more seasoning in the sauce, or perhaps some additional vegetables to add some color and flavor. However, the fish and tofu were cooked perfectly, so it wasn't a total loss.
