Délicieux !
Quick and perfect! ✨
Unbelievable delicious! Wow, just wow! A must-make!
Love this recipe its delicious & simple. It does take time, but worth it. And my bf who does not eat vegan loves it too
It’s funny, I made a mistake and took the “grill cheese” from the fridge (I’m not vegan) and it is very delicious any way! 🤗😋🙏🏻🌷
Oh, it’s delicious!
Thank you dear Sadia 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻🌷
Made this today for my family and everyone loved it! The lemon taste makes this dish feel really light and fresh!
This was very delicious and simple :)
This was incredibly delicious! No leftovers to be had!
Great recipe, surprisingly quick and easy to put together, and turned out a winner.
This was so flavorful and ridiculously easy to make. Prices are skyrocketing in Japan so this is also cheap but healthy! Thank you!!!
Really nice stir fry. The sauce is very lemony but I found it very refreshing and different from other stir fry sauces.
Lovely recipe:)
This is so good and simple to make 😁 I also baked the tofu as I prefer it that way. If you are a lemon lover then this is the dish for you 😁
Great stuff. I made the tofu in the oven.
Another keeper!
Just delicious, lovely balance of sweet and sour. Will make again
Delicious! Didn't have peppers but used a zuchinni instead, was still very good. A good opportunity to explore more tofu dishes as well. Would make again :)
so yummmmmyy
Good, but don't juice an entire lemon if it's a big one. Otherwise, the dish turns really sour 😖
Soo delicious! But if you’re going to eat it with a man you should calculate the recipe for 4 portions :)
No words, just yummy 😋
This was recipe was delicious! but more importantly, quick and easy for a healthy week night dinner :)
in my opinion, the pepper to tofu ratios were a bit off and I would put 400g of tofu 🙂↕️
What a delicious mix of strong flavours! The sauce is divine and pairs well with the tofu and bell peppers. I cooked the tofu in the airfryer - perfectly crispy and had to stop myself from eating it before adding to the rest of the dish!
Loved this recipe and can't wait to make it again!
Easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Made this dish last night and my family was very impressed! They really liked it. And the result looked exactly like the picture. Now how often does that happen? :)
Love it ❤️❤️
This sauce is just perfect! Extra tasty with a perfect zesty tang ! Absolutely recommend
Everytime I make a recipe from the Pick up Limes app it ends up being one that I swear I have to make weekly and add to my roster of go-to recipes because they really are all that delicious, this one is no exception. Swapped the yellow pepper for broccoli for extra greens and it was so good!
Delicious and very straight forward. Thanks PUL!
Yumm. I liked the taste of lemon and grated ginger in the sauce. Definitely recommend. 👍🏼
Loved this, very tasty and easy
Turned out so well. Lemony tofu didn’t know could taste this good. Thanks again Sadia for the amazing recipe!
Really delicious ! My new favorite recipe💙
Wow! This dish is awesome! And so easy to make! I Double the amount of lemon zest because I like it more lemony and it comes out perfect. For other readers that loved this recipe I’d suggest to try the Sweet and Sour Tofu, they’ll love it too!
So delicious! And I love that the recipe isn’t skimpy on the sauce. Great flavors and textures, easy to make without too many dishes. Adding this one to the regular rotation.
Simple and so delicious!
This was very yummy and easy to make! I plan to have this as a regular dish. It's the first time where I've fully enjoyed tofu.
Very good with steamed broccoli! No complaints here!
Simple and delicious! My partner was happy with the serving sizes as well. I might cut the tofu a little larger next time but only because I doubled the recipe and my pan was a little bit crowded. No fault in the recipe, haha!
Excellent. Super easy to make and with plenty of flavor for even the most jaded pallet. Another PUL winner!
This was soo good and easy to make! Perfectly balanced meal, definitely making it again!!🫶🏻
Easy to make & delicious-served it up with some roasted brocolli also. 😋
Wonderful recipe. Loved the refreshing flavor of lemon without it being too sour. The ginger really enhanced the flavor. Will definitely make it again.
Very yummy! Not too sweet and refreshing lemon flavor.
Loved it! I doubled the recipe, added less oil and syrup, and added onion and pineapple. 😋
We liked it a lot. Love anything lemon!
Just WOW. Really good
I made 2 packages of tofu and about 1.5 made it to the meal. One set of tofu I made in the air fryer and the other in my cast iron pan. The texture on the air fryer tofu was better and the cast iron tofu fell apart, but the cast iron pan tofu had a slightly better taste. Overall the flavors were delicious. I added some spinach and mushrooms to the dish and used some veggie broth for the rice. I would make it again. Will update on what my partner thought since he doesn't love lemony dinner things lol. Kiddos liked it. I am going to try to make it with less spice next time so that they can enjoy it.
Easy to make and delicious!!
Simple and easy recipe, turned out to be delicious; can make for an easy lunch!!
Easy to prepare with delicious outcome! I increased amount of tofu and it worked perfectly for me to hit protein goals ❤️
Quick and easy to make. Loved every bite of it. Next time I will add a bit more vegetables to the dish for bulking it up as the sauce was tasty and rich so it should be able to handle it!
Delish. Did truly taste like restaurant quality ( or even better 😜)
Really tasty! Big portion size 🤩
Was just great and so easy to make 🤗
Delicious and fresh!
I’m obsessed! Loved the kick of the lemon and spiciness. Made it over some quinoa, will definitely keep this one on rotation!
This was a nice change from a typical soy sauce/ hoisin type stir fry, very fresh- tasting and not at all salty! My lemons were large and rendered a lot of zest and juice but even still it was not too tart. Will make again!
My first try at a PUL recipe... WOW, soooo good (and easy!). Looking fwd to trying out more!
A new taste I never cooked myself, thank you!
The only thing a bit tricky here in Germany, is to find firm tofu. Normal tofu also works.
This sauce is amazing! Perfectly balanced! I added Julien carrots and thin green beans with the red peppers, and served over brown rice 🍚 Thanks Sadia 👑
Easy to make, not too many ingredients, and really flavorful.
Looks and tastes delicious! I omitted the sriracha for my kids then added the spice afterwards for myself and hubby. Was a hit!
Lovely simple recepie
I love this recipe! I made the tofu and the veggies in the air fryer and pressed the tofu first. I also tried orange instead of lemon and really like it. Thank you pick up limes team 💛
So good! I think we might bake or air fry the tofu next time for a little more hands off time and texture. The sauce was amazing! We will be making this again.
Really good & simple dish! I love that it didn’t require going out to buy a ton of ingredients and is a quick meal I can make with staples I already have. Only thing is that I wish I really pressed the tofu to make it have more crunch
I’ve been feeling under the weather for a while and this was just what I needed. Lots of vitamin C and the spice from the sriracha was liberating for the sinuses ;) as an added bonus it’s easy to put together. Thank you so much!
So delicious!!! I made with puff tofu (deep fried I think) from the Asian market, and the chewy texture with the sauce was amazing.
Really tasty! I added broccoli because my Nourish day needed it 🥰 and it was great. I think orange chicken is generally more common on Chinese-American menus, so might try subbing orange juice and zest next time!
Delicious and easy to make.
This was really tasty 😋 however I'd suggest that zesting and juicing the lemon and chopping the tofu should be included in the list of things to prep in step one of the make along mode as I found it very frantic trying to do everything in the order suggested!
Easy and delicious! I made the tofu in the air fryer. So easy
I made this today and it is just perfect. I did not have sesame seeds so I dropped in some toasted sesame oil at the end. Love the lemony taste so much!
Just made this recipe, really flavourful, lovely glossy sauce without any artificial flavourings you would get from a takeaway. Really fresh with a sweet spicy kick. Will definitely make it again.
This recipe is so simple and easy, but absolutely delicious. Made this for dinner with my celiac, vegetarian friend and was a hit.
Question: can one use amino acids instead of soy sauce AND nutritional yeast instead of corn starch? Dankjewel for all you do.
Absolutely loved it! I reduced the amount of Sriracha, and next time, I would use a bit less lemon (we had an ecological from Sicily, could be that it was more intense than regular ones). For me, it was still fine as I love lemony things, but for my bf, it was too sour even though he usually likes intense flavors. But will definitely repeat it as it's a burst of (lemony) flavors and easy to cook :)
Sesame oil is in the directions but it is not listed as an ingredient.
Replay taste and easy to cook! Maybe I’ll add some cilantro on top next time. Will definitely repeat this one!
So tasty
Great!
I really liked this recipe! I made it with my bf, but since he doesn't like tofu we used mock chicken pieces and it turned out amazing as well! Thank you for all those amazing recipes!
On a side note, my bf ate what was left the next day and according to him it was even better then
This is one of the best things I’ve ever made!
Another 5/5 recipe for me!
It's super easy to make and sooooo delicious, the sauce is the best and I love the way all the flavors combine.
Thanks again, PUL team! ❤️
So tasty
So, so good! We made it tonight and my husband said after the first try, oh let‘s make it again next weekend! We loved it! 💚💚 Thank you to Sadia and the whole team! Until now we enjoyed every single recipe from the App, and we tried a lot! 👍
It’s good, but a bit too intense and monotone at the same time somehow. It would be really nice as one dish among many. But it’s a bit much on its own. I doubled the recipe and used a lime, so perhaps that’s why! (Added mushrooms, bok choy, and spinach, for some extra veggies).
So good, loved the lemon in this!
This was quick and easy- tastes delicious!
Easy to pull together on a weeknight! Fast and easy! I subbed frozen California blend veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, zucchini) for the peppers which I didn't have on hand, and it is still delicious. Highly recommend!
Delicious.
Tastes quite the same as the vegan chicken recipe
Reeeally good, love the lemon zest
Lovely!
Absolutely LOVED this recipe. Can’t stop thinking about it since I made it on Monday, so much so I am making it for a family dinner on Sunday. I personally don’t like bell peppers, so I subbed in veg from the fridge; shredded brussel sprouts, a leek and savoy cabbage and it was delicious. I think it would work well with most veggies depending on your preference as the sauce is the star of the show. Absolutely delicious!
I really love it. My partner says this is great for our lunch meal prep. However, I might add less sriracha than recommended. 🔥
Delicioso🤤
This was incredibly umami! Definitely will be prepared again.
And thank you for the efforts you put in the app! 🫶
A very zingy meal! Lovely with white rice, but I can imagine it to be good with any kind!
Such a great alternative to the orange tofu recipe. I'll have to make it again with less sriracha because our toddler found it too spicy but I think it's also the brand we are currently using. Another 5* recipe!
Quick and easy meal, tastes better on a second day.
Loved this recipe, not to keen on tofu usually but this came out really nice. Definately going to make this again.
Would gochujang instead of sriracha work?
Made the red lentil tofu and then used it in this recipe, it was all delicious! Definitely making this again!
I made this and enjoyed it! I didn’t add any sriracha hot sauce but will try it next time.
Super quick recipe and delicious 😋
Wonderful recipe. Made it after a long day‘a drive, quick on the table, very easy and satisfying. Mod: preserved lemon
We loved it? Even my pickiest eater said I could make this again. In fact they have said that about every recipe I've made and posted a comment about. I made the recipe as is and it served 5 of us just fine with about side dish to go with it.
I really like it! I made double the amount but only used half the lemons. It took me around 40 min. Super tasty, will definitely make it again❤️
Colourful, shiny and tasty dish.
I used 1 lemon (all I had left in my fruit basket) and it tasted more than sour enough.
Excellent ! We use way less sriracha because we canning handle it but it was very good
