Where I’m at there’s local places that make tofu. I enjoy it with some avocado and or in a salad. How many of you make your own and like it?
TOFU: anyone here like it and make it?

I prefer paneer over tofu - more tasty, especially when made with some good Indian spices.
I like playing around with different seasoning methods, different marinades, etc. Tofu is great for that!
Trader Joe's has garlic Sriracha BBQ sauce. I'll make extra firm tofu with that ... amazing!
Tofu itself is not that great flavor wise.

I don't eat tofu anymore. It may cause brain shrinkage and cognitive decline.
An excerpt from one of many articles on this topic;
The researchers ranked participants based on their self-reported tofu intake. Those who reported eating at least two servings per week of tofu had smaller brains and did worse on the cognitive tests.
The study looked at men because the researchers had piggybacked this onto a study of heart disease, but they even tested the wives’ cognitive function, suspecting that both husband and wife sat down to their tofu meals together. They found that these women also did worse on cognitive tests. So even being married to a tofu eater means more cognitive decline.

My wife is a breast cancer survivor and her oncologist told her to not eat soy products based on the type of cancer she had because of the estrogen content in soy.

Tasteless substitute for real food
My Mom used to make Miso soup; loved it. Our favorite Japanese restaurant, family style, serves Miso soup with your meal. A real treat.
It is?
It is
Yes, it is. I enjoy it in salads
Correlational studies do not prove causation. Many people who eat a good amount of tofu are vegetarians and vegans who tend to have low B12 and low DHA which is related to brain shrinkage and cognitive decline. Interestingly enough, the Japanese who eat a lot of tofu also tend to eat a lot of fish which contains B12 and DHA and I have heard nothing about above-average Japanese brain shrinkage.

Definitely great. I really like the silken tofu that is extra soft. It comes in water. I put it on a plate with paper towels and put a plate on top for 20-30 minutes.
dust it in potato starch then fry it. It comes out just like agodashi tofu from Japanese restaurants.
