Tofu alone is not anything great, but it’s also not gross. It’s pretty flat and nutural in flavor which is what makes it great because you can make it taste like most anything. It’s like saying flour is gross. Like I don’t want a spoon full of flour, but I’ll make you a damn fine pancake.
My sister always said tofu tastes like nothing and it just tastes like whatever you season it with. Ah yes, unlike the chicken that is so flavorful that you brine it overnight and then rub it with a ton of salt and spices just to not make it bland.
Tofu is delicious.
Tofu kind of just tastes like nothing.
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour, the spice cabinet?
“X has no flavor”
“But you can add things that do have flavor!”
Think of me the next time you add salt or any other spice, will you?
I add flavorful ingredients to other flavorful ingredients all the time. I just want each one to contribute a flavor of its own. Tofu, rice, and pasta all fail to contribute.
They’re really just good vehicles for other flavors, like bread or potatos.
They contribute texture, sure. And with enough maillard reaction, potato and bread can pull their own weight. I just hate the idea of filler ingredients. I had to make my food stretch when I was younger, and now I don’t have to (for now), so I’d much rather just have more of the genuinely tasty parts and leave out the bland bulk. Every rice dish is better to me without the rice, for instance. Same flavor, but more of it per bite.
I hate to be the one to ask but is there a video?
NSFW, in case that wasn’t obvious.
I’m a freak, but what the fuck?
You’re also being kind of judgmental.
