Tofu! It’s the one food this is always on the menu at a restaurant, and in the lunches of my friends but is also the one food I have not yet attempted to master. Let me start from the beginning. My younger sister once made my family supper as a teenager and told us that we were going to eat Butter Chicken. Delicious right? I sat down at the dinner table and discovered that my “chicken” was in perfect cubes. I thought it was odd but would give it a try. So I took my first bite, and let me tell you, when you are expecting chicken and get tofu, it is pretty shocking. And here ends my experience with tofu. Now, as I write an article about Tofu, it is clear that there are some seriously delicious ways to cook it to make it taste mouth watering-ly good. Let’s take a look at our foodie future, shall we?
