Tofu Sucks - Or Does It? It does.

I like tempeh, we eat it pretty regularly. I find it makes good sandwiches, it is easier to slice up thin than tofu, IMO.

Booooo. What didnā€™t you like about it?

It was bland. Wonder if I had a bad rendition of it. This restaurant makes great food so Iā€™d be surprised.

I do like the Szechuan peppercorn tingle. This place makes a spicy beef noodle soup with the tingle that I usually get.

Hmm bummer. I think the traditional way to make it the sauce is kinda thin and oily, but I prefer the places that that make it thicker where it sticks more to the tofu. It shouldnā€™t be bland though!

I do ask my place to make it spicier but its def not bland

91

Was definitely a thin and oily sauce.

As a frequent tofu eater I gotta be honest with you guys: I think mapo tofu has been badly oversold ITT.

Apologies, I took it the wrong way. I throw out these kinds of one-liners all the time, I need to understand that whatā€™s good for the goose is whatā€™s good for the gander.

All tofu is not created equal, even in Japan. Thereā€™s a shop just a couple minutes away from my house that makes all its tofu on site, and itā€™s so good and fresh you can eat it plain right out of the container.

Iā€™m having a hard time imagining that this tastes good. Itā€™s not like weā€™re talking about sashimi here. How does the freshness help?

99

I mean eating it straight out of the container isnā€™t my chosen method of consumption. Just saying it tastes good enough that you can.

And freshness does make a big difference. Canā€™t really explain other than to say you can taste the freshnessā€“you can tell is was just made and it comes across in the flavor.

I used to make tofu stir-fry when my older daughter was vegetarian. The demoisturizing was a pain, but it tasted fine.

Hating [extra-firm] tofu seems kind of silly, since this is like hating chicken breast. Neither one has much of any taste plain.

I just had vegan asada fries from Modern Times in Portland that rivaled any meat Iā€™ve had. Maybe I should reevaluate.
