No but like seriously, why are vegan and vegetarian options always MORE expensive at restaurants. Whenever I cook my self, the meat is BY FAR the most expensive part of any meal. Meanwhile stuff like soy strips are DIRT CHEAP, not to mention they last basically forever!
The canteen I go to for lunch actually sells the meatless meals for 2/3 of the price, always a taunting reminder. Like hell yea, that’s how ya convert me!
Buy the super firm stuff and, if you’re willing to spend the extra time, put it in a tofu press to get out even more water. Marinate in the same kind of things as meat. Fry in a pan, cook on the grill, or on an open flame is my favorite :)
The drier the tofu, the more meaty it gets and will brown a lot better too. I don’t care what people say about oil, I think its much better for flavor and Browning.
Freezing the tofu makes it more tougher, and you can use the cheaper tofu’s.
Thats true I forgot about that
