that Basic Tofu (thelemmy.club)

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

Soy curds in soy sauce?! What next?! A side of edamame beans and gochujang? A glass of soy milk? Maybe a miso soup starter!

Soy's pretty neat huh cool-bean Even if I am more of a chickpea guy :cool-legume:

Gochujang and edamame are actually really good?

[-] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 hours ago

Heck yeah they are. They're just all made of soy and would actually weirdly go together

I love tofu so much. I had some for lunch. Probably will eat some for dinner. I haven't marinated it in a while. I should do that

Looks good! I'm imagining putting it on a plate with diced potatoes and playing roulette though

Thank you i wish i could feed it to you when it's done

if you do this method though I wasn't kidding about needing to squeeze excess oil out, damn that shit was oily (now it's perfect though)

Make sure the bulbs in the kitchen are at least 3000k temp.

The problem is the main one is some fucky LED thing that I don't even know how to change. Like not an LED bulb, i thought it was a bulb but took off the cover and it's just like a flat thing with an LED and it's wired into the ceiling

Maybe i can replace it but i give up easily i looked at it and was like idk fuck this

Also i know it looks greasy i'm gonna wipe and press some of that off before tossing in harissa

this is one of the times I'd CONSIDER posting to a comm other than chapotraphouse but tbh the food comm doesn't get much engagement
