You Should Be Careful-I Know Tofu


actually...i don't.

so i did some research.

Tofu, also toufu (the Japanese Romaji spelling), doufu (the Chinese Pinyin spelling often used in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (the literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin,[1] made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.

i like it in crab pad thai from continental midtown.

i file tofu in an imaginary food group in my brain called "health foods". others are:
hummus
pita bread
lentils
sunflower seeds
bean sprouts
fiber bran
bran muffins
oatmeal
olive oil
grapefruit
skim milk
