Recipe Reviews
My husband would rather die than eat tofu, so I adapted your recipe (please forgive me, but we are not vegan), substituting chicken breast for tofu and white wine for the water where called for. This is an amazing recipe. Thank you. I didn't know what to do with my winter squash and red cabbage. This turned out great.
We arent vegan but I needed a recipe incorporating red cabbage and winter squash. I did adapt it to chicken instead of tofu. I also added white wine rather than water where called for. This is a great recipe and we really enjoyed it. I hope the author doesn't mind.
Thank you! Approved!
