Tofu and Shrimp With Hoisin Sauce image

This is a great appetizer, or pupu as they call them in Hawaii. Serve a platter of this with toothpicks. Decrease the amount of red pepper if you want it less spicy. This comes from Pupus, an Island Tradition by Sachi Fukuda. This makes about 4-6 appetizer servings

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

I thought the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. The tofu and shrimp were cooked well, but I would have preferred them to be a bit crispier.

This was my first time cooking with hoisin sauce and I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was easy to make and added a delicious flavor to the tofu and shrimp. I will definitely be using hoisin sauce again in future recipes.

I've made this dish several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The sauce is tangy and sweet, and the tofu and shrimp are tender and juicy. I like to serve it over rice or noodles.
