Its candy and bitter with barely little bit of heat from the chili. Let’s acquire tofu seductive, I conception (realising that this will likely likely maybe maybe be a contradiction in phrases). Reduction with rice or flatbread. —morning glory

Test Kitchen Notes

I in fact loved this dish and was vastly a great deal surprised by the combine of flavors. The completely part that can maybe maybe indulge in made this dish better could maybe maybe maybe be the added spiciness: The sauce thickened in about 8 minutes, which didn’t leave great time for the chilis to infuse their flavor. The pomegranate molasses added a terribly good sweetness to the dish and the 5-spice balanced it out. I would positively acquire this dish over again, though I could maybe maybe simmer it for longer to acquire more heat out of the chilis, and sub rooster for tofu. —Angela
