I've probably made this recipe 10 times at this point. It is super easy! I never put the marinade in the blender, out of sheer laziness, and because I never seem to plan ahead when I make this, I usually marinate the tofu for like 15 minutes or so. I also always add the remainder of the marinade into the pan halfway through frying (and I also use less oil so it's more of a stir fry - maybe a couple tsp). The flavors are delicious.
