Any time I've tried to cook with Tufu it sucked all the flavor out of everything it touched.
You can mainate it etc. but it still ends up only tasting like whatever else it managed to suck the flavor out of.
It has no flavor of it's own.
Might as well just drink a glass of the marinade.Tastes the same.
The stuff is the activated charcoal of the vegetable world.
No matter what you soak it in or spice it with,it'll eventually turn back into a tasteless white blob if you leave it sit a while after you spice it up.
If you don't cook it soon after it gets taken out of the marinade it will suck up all the flavor and taste like nothing...once again.
Grits and polenta a close second,without 1lb of bacon,cheese ,mushroons and butter,they still taste like mush.
I'd rather get rid of the grits/corn meal versions and eat the bacon and mushrooms covered with melted cheese,dipped in butter.
Corn meal was invented for making corn bread with cracklins and chile peppers mixed in.
Makes a great sandwich when fried in bacon grease and smothered with smoked baby back rib meat or pulled pork.
Makes a good Toad in the hole too.(Split the corn bread,fry up some bacon,fry bread in grease,cover with egg and bacon bits.)
Ahhh,then there is Couscous,nothing like eating a lump of pure starch...
