I like it, too, especially with the lite soy sauce. The way you make it sounds yummy. Going to give that a try. Willing to try new ways of making it for sure. I have heard differing things on tofu and soy, too, but don't eat it all the time. I'm getting to the point of ignoring what they say about foods because later on they will have a study that says it's good...so I'll keep having it.

When I was young I used to eat a lot of TV dinners. Now that I'm old, and hopefully wiser, I am wary of commercial meals full of preservatives. For now I enjoy trying new recipes, I don't know what I will do when I am no longer able to cook. I suppose by then it won't matter the quality of those meals since I'll be close to my ''expiry date'' anyway. Perhaps sometimes you can make what I call ''creative meals'' that don't require lots of cooking or prep. Like fill a plate with a piece of meat or other protein, a piece of cheese, some nuts, a sliced tomato or other veggie etc etc. At least 2-3 times a week you can enjoy a fresh and healthier, preservative-free meal.
Do you use a meat thermometer when you cook? I find that using one helps me to not overcook chicken and turkey.
They have to cook it and you have to reheat it, result is ''overcooked''.
Hi. Same here in a way, Debbie. With me I lost interest in cooking when my hubby died 5 years ago . I cooked for us for 51 years and loved it and he apreciated my meals especially Sunday roasts.
You can eat tofu raw, cut it in cubes and add to a green salad. I just don't like raw tofu. I rinse it, dry it, wrap it with cling wrap and freeze it, it gives it more body. Then when I need it I defrost it, cube it or slice it and fry it in oil, and after it has browned I will add some soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce. That will be my ''meat'', I also add the browned tofu to green salad or use the slices for sandwich. Tofu is an acquired taste, but it's so bland that it will absorb whatever you add to it, so play with it with by adding your favorite sauces or condiments. Also, a caution, tofu is not supposed to smell at ALL, if it smells it's no good.
Thanks, I bookmarked your article under my ''nutrition'' file. As you read in it, opinions about tofu are all over the place. I've also read that Asian women have very little discomfort from menopause because of their frequent use of tofu and other soy products. As for me, I don't use tofu every day, just maybe once a week or even longer. I think foods can be problematic if you over use them and eat the same item day in and day out, balance is the key. Even Koalas only eat a little of each tree leaves and then move to other trees with different leaves. They know instinctively that they need to vary their diet.
Nope. I never throw the brewed coffee away. Just reheat it. Never tried the cold brewed method.
They pound it with sharp needles. That breaks down all the fibres. You can do it yourself with a mallet designed for the purpose.
