    Self own: admitting publically you've never been invited to a home cooked meal by a Chinese person before.

    Thinking tofu has no texture just shows you've only had the silken tofu white supermarkets sell. Thinking it has no taste means it was cooked CIA style (the 2nd worst CIA, the Culinary Institute of America).

    flashbacks to the chris and steph video about mapo doufu where the CIA version is just bland tofu corners with soggy overcooked veg

    It's common to mistake intelligence for the capacity to be re-educated but do not be fooled comrades.

    The intelligent liberal is simply capable of weaving a more effective shield of deception around the black hole they call an ideology.

    Is it weird that I unironically like plain tofu?

    tofu puffs are literally just deep fried tofu and I love them on their own
    the process makes them even more absorbent when it comes to taking on flavour, especially in a soup (laksa being my reference)
    they're absolutely fucking goated

    I don't think its weird. When I am cooking myself something with tofu I end up eating like a third of the block before I even start to season it lmao

    I want Natalie to eat boiled beef and then look her audience in the eyes and lie to their faces by saying that has any flavor.

    You know what tastes so great about steak? The fucking salted butter and spices you cooked it in! Fun fact: You can cook pretty much anything in salted fat and spices and it'll come out just fine.

    Damn now I want some curry...

    If you boil something in water you are extracting the flavor into a stock. Stocks are commonly used for their flavor in cooking around the world. In France just like in China.
