Tofu Take 2
Today I've decided that I like tofu beter uncooked.
The first time I tried tofu, it was in the disaster of a meal "spicy barbercue tofu triangles." I was convinced it tasted like mayonnaise more than anything else. Fail.
However, as they say everyone must try again. So after I built up the courage to do son I did. This time, instead of frying or baking or sauteeing,I opted for the simpler choice - nothing. By nothing I mean, the raw, uncooked attempt at eating tofu. Last night, I cut up the extra firm tofu into cute little square, and soaked them in some balsamic vinagrette overnight.
This morning I took the cubes and mixed them up with some lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, an and onions for a toss salad and it was good!!!
Needless to say, I was happy :)
