Soy help

[muck_a_luck]

OK, all you vegetarian eating people.

1) Hit me with your best tofu recipe. The one you give to your steak and shrimp eating friends to try to convert them to veganism. I'm less interested in the meat tasting tofus that are supposed to make you think you are eating meat. Cause they are expensive and if I can't get the right brand in my market, there would be no point.

2) Particularly to Americans, but also to others, as these are often imported here... If you want to make falafel at home, what do you use? Your own recipe? A boxed mix? A frozen product?

Trying to get more veggies and soy in my diet. Gonna try Boca Burgers, too.

The Chameleon Protein

The great thing about tofu is it takes on the flavor of other things so easy and it's so versatile with regards to mashing it up. If I need some protein I just mash it up with cooked broccoli and pour my favorite sauce and nuke it. That's when I'm feeling particular lazy.

My fave sauce is Sweet & Hot Chili by San-J. I get it at the local health food store. I don't find it really hot, but it's got a little kick. When I order Thai food, I can easily handle 3/5, and this sauce doesn't even come close to that kind of heat.

Try adding tofu to scrambled eggs and tomatoes and other veggies you like with eggs. Or just add it in to a recipe for a little more protein. Will anyone even notice? Start with a little and gradually build up and probably they won't have a clue they are eating that dreaded tofu because it's The Chameleon Protein.
