Title: I like tofu!
Post by: moroccangirl on March 23, 2017, 08:47:37 AM: I never thought I'd say those words. It does sometimes feel like "what's the point of tofu", but I do like it. I need to try different recipes.

I sautéed it long enough for it to get crispy and I doubled the sauce mixture and poured about 3/4 of it over the tofu in the pan, then when the tofu was done I put it on a plate, put the rest of the sauce in the pan just for a couple of minutes, then scraped it on top of the tofu on the plate (I don't like raw garlic, that's why I did that).

prior to my soy allergy diagnosis, i ate a lot of tofu.

one of my fave preparations was dusting with a bit of cornstarch and spices, and then pan frying it until it was crispy. then plating.

then using the same pan, i'd saute some green beans in really hot oil with some honey and soy and garlic. i'd pour that over the tofu.

What were your allergy symptoms (I'm going to google as well in case makeda is lurking) :D

I do not eat much soy at all, but would be very sad to have to never have tofu again.

I love tofu but it wrecks my stomach. I want to make that black pepper thing but I know I would overeat it and hate life.

vomiting and diarrhea after eating soy oil, tofu, edamame

it's one of my worst allergies - along with canola (canola causes anaphylaxis)

(soy sauce is so denatured, and consumed in such small quantities - it doesn't seem to cause a problem)

Oh my goodness!!

He is. He's not 100%. We have grilled burgers at home maybe once or twice a month on a weekend. Other than that he doesn't eat any meat or chicken and rarely eats fish now. I haven't had meat or chicken in a while (besides the burgers) but I'm not vegetarian. I've just been lazy to get the chicken breasts out of the freezer to cook a bunch at one time for myself to just pull out of the fridge when I want one.
