Sorry, but I came into this thread to brag about being trans-vegan

Recently, I learned to simmer tofu in extremely salty water for 2 minutes to dry it out. Drip dry. Then toss it with cornstarch, oil, and black pepper. I put it in my toaster oven at 425 for 14 minutes on each side. Or just sauté it in a pan for a lil bit. Comes out crispy as hell. Then I toss it in a sauce made from green onion, garlic, ginger, oil, gochujang, xaoxing wine, Chinese black vinegar, Sichuan chili bean paste, and soy sauce. Then I add some cabbage for extra veggie goodness. And toasted sesame oil.

For breakfast, you could do a simpler sauce with just soy, toasted sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Or something western like pesto.

Anyway, tofu slaps, and you can get an organic brick of it with 70g of protein for like 3$

I read that soy gives you increased estrogen so I've been eating it every day for a year and I still haven't grown breasts

I wish I had that much time in the morning. I'm a rice and kim chi kinda guy since it takes a third of the time.

Thats more of a lunch/dinner recipe for me. You can make it easier by not making the tofu crispy and putting seasonings directly on them instead of making a sauce in a pan. There are tons of tofu scramble recipes out there that are decent.
