    I find a sauna works better with a birch stick if you are so inclined!

    hard or soft tofu ?
    .
    I quite like the variant that like blue cheese, has mould on it. Fried in batter. Served with chili sauce sitting in a restaurant on a balcony in Samarinda, Borneo.

    Off to Yau Brothers in Southampton this evening. I am sure tofu will be in the shopping trolley.

    I had some excedingly nice tofu in a Vietnamese fish restaurant in Cambridge. Totally NOT rubbery.

    Yes, it does need flavouring. Had some in a Malaysian restaurant in Soho and it was beautiful. It’s easy enough to get the extra firm stuff, you need to press it to remove any excess liquid then marinade it. But you soon find out, there are marinades and there are marinades. Worth trying though, can be very tasty :food:
     
  10. I'm actually quite disappointed that @snotty hasn't been on this thread with a Guardian reader/Waitrose customer gag... :(

  17. Tofu is all about the marinade.
    MIx your marinade and soak the tofu in it for over 4 hours.
    Recently i've been dry pan frying my tofu, then marinating it.

    You can buy pre marinated tofu, which saves you loads of hassle.
