Out of all the things you can make out of soy, why milk? Tofu exists and it's grand-master based food. I'll smash several plates of mapo tofu without hesitation. Soy sauce, edamame, all ridiculously good shit.
I disagreed with you until last night about tofu. But gods damn that orange tofu I had last night was just excellent. Good tofu is apparently something that exists and was just always out of reach
Portland has oodles of places that serve good tofu. Fried, marinated, sauce, and so on.
People keep saying it's nice, but I've never had any good stuff. I would try it again if thought there was a reasonable chance I'd like it!
It was crispy and kinda tough and tossed in orange sauce at a vaguely pan-Asian restaurant.
In which country?
USA, Midwest region
Damn, I'm in the UK so no easy way to go to the same restaurant/chain!
Yeah it’s just a small single location place anyways. I will say I don’t eat much tofu because I didn’t quit meat until I was in a relationship with someone who can’t eat soy, so it may just be common for hole in the wall East Asian restaurants to have amazing tofu
guess how tofu is made
Basically cheese but made out of soy, afaik.
yeah specifically soy milk
Naturally, but by then it's no longer milk, it's tofu.
tempeh is also insanely good, and remarkably nutritious
Personally, I prefer soy milk to cow or oat milk because it has a better nutritional profile. It has less sugar and fat, and more protein, as well as having fiber. (Some oat milk brands do have fiber in them, but most of the ones I've found are very high in fat, sugar, and calories.)
Edit: And I like the not-overpowering vanilla flavored ones because I pretty much only use it for cereal or to accompany cookies.
I've got a new dish to try with mapo tofu. Thank you for the indirect recommendation!
