when i talk about marinating it in diluted soy sauce before frying this is the end result. It looks better in person though the lighting in my kitchen is fucked (i feel like a blind old man in this kitchen. All the lights are this soft fucking yellow, i can't see shit captain)
the point is more the flavor though it just gives it this good savory base which i think will help people who don't like the texture of tofu or find it bland even with sauces
I think it's as you said. There is so much brainwashing happening with the American public. "Meat is the only good protein" is such a prevalent mentality, it's wild. Like....beans are fucking delicious, fuck off with that. And tofu rules, it just has to be prepared right. I agree it is a little bland, our first friend tofu tasted like pure vegetable oil and breading, not ideal. But has massively improved since with marinades and a tofu press!
