saw this post, checked tofu at my local grocery store, omfg it was $2.18 v. the normal 5-6$.
stocked ttttffffffff up
i hope soy milk gets cheap too i will buy tf out of that too
edit: saw this recipe someone posted making it tonight https://thecheaplazyvegan.com/ground-beef-tofu/
At Aldi its like $1.75 or thereabouts but the tradeoff is that it has the worst consistency of any tofu I’ve ever seen. It is sold as “extra firm” but I’m not even sure if the silken - firm spectrum can even apply to this stuff. Great for making seitan, pretty meh for everything else. Don’t press it, that makes it angry.
Finally, affordable HRT!
Any good tofu tips and recipes, chat?
I parboil it cubed in salted water for 5 minutes before dredging in corn starch and frying for tofu that is cronch on the outside and moist and chewy on the inside.

But mostly just to stop thinking of it as a meat replacement. It’s its own thing and it’s good. If you’re at a restaurant that offers tofu as a protein, try it out and see what you like and don’t like about the flavor and texture
Letting sliced tofu marinade in an acid like vinegar or citrus juice (plus a little salt and seasonings) will make the inside deliciously bright and tangy.
If you pan fry it you don’t need corn starch or anything, you just have to pat it dry before putting it in and be paitent.
How much does tofu marinate when you substitute it for eggs in shakshuka?
I have no idea, sorry.
is it? same price around me
My local tofu company you can get in the grocery stores around here is going for $3 a block, used to be like $5
I wonder if it’s because China is no longer buying all of our soy beans
That is why
Holy shit, the tariffs were good for America! No, I will not be accepting other data points
I’ve been thinking about getting some of the molds and making my own for maximum affordability.
my friend has been doing this and seems he’s having a blast! Do it and share results
Might just build some out of wood, these fuckers are high wanting $30 for a box.
do it! The wood would probably enhance the flavor. No microplastics for you, pal
