It’s true what they say, we eat with our eyes first, that’s why I knew I had to give this recipe a try when I saw it on Gimme Some Oven.  However, because the original recipe uses shrimp, I had to make a few changes~ I don’t eat animal flesh and one other very important reason~ I have a shellfish allergy.

Ingredients-Hoisin-Tofu

Tofu replaced the shrimp, coconut aminos was used instead of soy sauce, I added a bit of hot chili sauce  for spice, sesame oil and cilantro, I used because I absolutely love their flavors together.

 

I love that this recipe is so versatile, the original recipe uses shrimp, I used tofu and I’m sure you could use chicken, salmon or beef.

Ali, over at Gimme Some Oven,  served her dish up on a bed of rice, while I served my tofu on a bed of farro, because it’s what I had on hand. It would also be great on a bed of veggies or noodles.

If you try this recipe, let me know how you serve it, be sure to tag it #thewholeserving on Instagram or Twitter, I’d love to see!

    This looks really good! I’m happy to see you use the same Hoisin Sauce I do – except I got mine at Costco in a massive bottle 🙂
