Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I wanted it to feel inevitable to both of them, which was kind of tricky.

Re tofu: I'm afraid my family had a violent anti-hoisin-sauce reaction, so that one didn't work well for us.

I've got a decent Pad Thai recipe from Everyday Food, if you don't already have one -- it even got the thumbs-up from the five-year-old, in spite of the fish sauce. And I've discovered that tofu substitutes nicely for beef in my usual stir-fry recipe. And I've learned the Two Necessary Tofu Techniques: pressing and using a nonstick pan.

Otherwise we've just been marinating it in lemon-tahini dressing and putting it on salads. Or, in my case, eating big squares of it with salt.
