Tofu is my new play dough

I'm discovering the joy of tofu. You think I'm being a joker? The food irritation is about gone. Time to play.
Let's see. What do I do with this stuff besides fry it in olive oil? Tonight we made a sauce with a chunk of tofu. We had a barley brown rice pilaf with chunks of green peppers and onions. I put in fish sauce with that pilaf for saltiness. Onion and ginger and a little vinegar and a teeny bit of sugar in with the blended tofu. And garlic. Must have garlic to wake the mouth up. Anybody else discovering the joy of tofu?

@XinfulThotz The canned American tomato soup that I grew up with was so sweet. Maybe I'll try to make my own.

@XinfulThotz No. I just like to play in the kitchen. I like to use fresh and basic ingredients if possible. I make pie crust too well! It is healthier for me to stop making cookies and start making dishes that feature tofu and other bean dishes.

Tofu is a good component of spring roll filling if you want less meat. Small thinly sliced pieces of unfried tofu could also be added to your favorite vegetable soup.

You may want to try throwing in a few pieces of fried tofu into curry. Taste great!

Cut the tofu into cubes and cook with the chicken soup, add seaweed when its about to be done.

@DominicHzd Good to hear from you. I believe seaweed has tons of minerals in it that helps a person to be strong and healthy.

@sallypup Actually scallions but just as good.
Several people who read the post on Diep Tran and Good Girl Dinette remarked how tasty her tofu snack looked. And for those of you who’ve eaten it, you know that it’s true. I couldn’t agree with you more! I kept thinking about it yesterday so I made my own

They say we eat with our eyes first, but after that it's taste and texture, none of which tofu has....you can have it all with my blessings.

@sallypup Nope. We don't eat much store bought soup - I make turkey or chicken noodle, or bean soup.

@AbbyGreenhill Just call me curious. Raw turkey parts sure can be slimey and slippery. Same with chicken.

@AbbyGreenhill Do you use condensed soups in your recipes?

I'm rather a fan of tofu, oddly enough. I like it as a sandwich - two slices of wheat bread, a thick slice of tofu, and brown mustard. Surprisingly good. I also like baked tofu, smoked tofu, tofu in miso soup (try some of that sometime, it's good) and yes, deep fried tofu.

Oh, and I forgot, tofu flavored with Chinese five spice. That was interesting.

@Rohvannyn That's a spice that I've not tried.

@Rohvannyn I need to look for that. I've had clove hard candy and couldn't abide the strong taste.

@sallypup It's kind of sweetish, because it has cinnamon and clove in it, along with five other spices. Not hot or anything.
