I'm pretty sure I found this recipe on Tumblr but I am not quite sure. I just saw the picture and I thought it looked amazing. On top of that, it sounded wonderfully light and healthy.

Ingredients
- 1 piece firm tofu - cut in half diagonally into 2 triangles
- 1 small cucumber - julienned
- 1 small carrot - julienned
- 1 handful of bean sprout
- 2 Tbs seasame seeds
- 4 Tbs raw honey
- 1/2 Tbs grated ginger
Directions
Cut the tofu and pat it really dry on paper towel. Brown each triangle in a heated pan until golden brown, and set it aside to cool down.
Mix the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and sesame seeds in a small bowl and add the julienned cucumber, carrots, and sprouts. Cut a slit on the tofu, and create a pocket with a small spoon. Stuff some of the vegetables into it and enjoy it with the remaining marinated vegetables.
Review
When I first saw this recipe, I thought it had so much potential. However, my execution was really off. The biggest problem with it was the tofu. I could not brown them to the crisp that I wanted them to be. And on top of that, I did not slit the tofu well enough. There was just too much tofu with each bite and it didn't taste right. The last thing was the vegetables, which came out just decent. They came out really soggy and something just wasn't right about the marinade. I didn't necessarily think it was disgusting, but I was not particularly impressed with the dish at all. I will have to make a second attempt to try to redeem this.
