Description

This dish is what happens when cozy meets vibrant. Sweet orange tofu glistens beside smoky grilled mushrooms and crispy Brussels sprouts, each forkful layered with contrast — zesty, earthy, rich.

It’s hearty, balanced, and full of the kind of depth that makes you want to light a candle and savor every bite.
