    It’s not gross. I just never had tofu that had any worthwhile taste. Probably have not had good tofu hut nonetheless.

      I mean tofu by itself tastes pretty much of nothing. You need to like marinade and spice it before it tastes good.

      Personally I also like making sure one side is fried until very crispy.

        Really pressing all the water out first is key to get it crispy. Soaking it briefly in eggwash (or oil if vegan) and breading it with breadcrumbs or even just flour before frying it hard makes it soooooo good. Can add spices to the eggwash too.

          Oh interesting, I’ve never bothered to do much about the water. Should try that next time.

      I feel the same way about meat, I always put sauces on my meats

        I consider myself vegetarian now, but you make a sound point…all proteins are really made by their preparation. I’ve had some damn good tofu and some really bad steaks.
