Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: Press tofu to remove liquids before saut ing. Wrap the block in a clean cloth towel and put something heavy-ish on top, then wait 10-20m. I use a small square glass jar with about 1# of mung beans in it, but your available heavy kitchen items may vary. Les ....
Comment preview: My favorite tofu preparation: 1. Start with extra firm tofu. 2. Freeze tofu solid, then thaw it. This gives it a chewier, less-slimy texture. I buy tofu that has to be refrigerated and is in a sort of water bath, so I just put it directly in the freeze ....
Comment preview: I LOVE tofu. This doesn't exactly answer your question, but tofu is a food that I think many people dislike because they have only ever had it in the context of a meat substitute, which it decidedly is *not*. It's a fantastic food in its own rite, and shou ....
Comment preview: Hey, didn't see that you got a reply and I thought I'd share with you a recipe of my own invention. I've never had *anyone* not like it, vegan or otherwise. Deffo a great potluck item/comfort food. ___ **Kentucky Fried Tofu** ___ What you'll need: * Fryi ....
Comment preview: It actually doesn't, assuming you know how to eat healthy. I eat for $20 per week, and I have an extremely balanced diet. Oatmeal and fruit for breakfast Tofu smoothie for lunch - Includes spinach, soya milk, dessert tofu, strawberry, and banana (with fres ....
Comment preview: I only discovered it in the past 6 weeks or so. So I wouldn't necessarily say that it had a big impact on 2014, but it's probably the closest that I can think of. Tofu. I bought it because I was at the grocery store and there was an attractive person stand ....
Comment preview: The one thing that gets me everytime I go back to the States is the constant clamor for quantity over quality. You see it everywhere. It especially gets me when Americans hold their food on a pedestal. Coming back to the States, I get asked how I like "rea ....
Comment preview: Sorry for the link not being an imgur link. For some reason imgur has been freezing on me for the past hour or so. Anyway, here is the recipe for the bowls. You may want to omit the guac if you want to save $, as avocados can be a bit pricey, but everythin ....
Comment preview: Vegetarian here. How's your dairy intake? Nonfat cottage cheese is a great breakfast. Cheeses in general are great, yogurt is EXTRA great. I try to limit my dairy to yogurt and milks because cheese disagrees with me too often. Eggs are an awesome source of ....

Comment preview: I explained it to my smart-ass nephew like this: Imagine you've got a brick of tofu with grape juice in it, and you've got to get it out with a straw. You can't see into the tofu, but you know the grape juice is around there somewhere, but the problem is ....
Comment preview: This is a variation on Chipotle bowls with cilantro rice, black beans, tofu & pulled pork. Serving sizes can be varied according to your needs, but a nice neat serving for me fit into a pint mason jar. 1/5 of the total batch is about 460 calories, 11 ....
Comment preview: Thank you so much! I started weighlifting in high school, and then went vegan in my 20's. There is actually a big difference between weightlifting and powerlifting. I started to learn this last year when I started training for PlantBuilt (http://www.pla ....
Comment preview: I'm really proud of you! In my opinion, deciding to go vegan is the hardest part. You might hit a few snags, but from now on it should be smooth sailing for you two. Remember that if you slip up once or twice, you're only human! Just [remind yourself why y ....
Comment preview: I'm not OP, but have done this at home many times. Cost-wise, it's absolutely worth it. The price of soy beans varies so much that listing what I paid would be useless to most people. It's not worth it if you're only going to make one or two batches becaus ....
Comment preview: Let's go from an assumption that we're talking about one day's worth of food. Soy is a pretty awesome crop, but the process of making tofu out of it requires a lot of time, special equipment, a lot of energy and a lot of water. Not worth it. I'd much rathe ....
Comment preview: This can be made a few ways. I always start the same way, by pressing the tofu. Get a plate and set a block of firm tofu on it. Stack plates on top until the sides bulge a little, but not so much that it starts splitting. Let it sit for 10 minutes or so, t ....

Comment preview: Chinese-American here. Boy is there a lot of stuff to talk about. First, veggies. Obviously there are a lot of different green veggies at the market, from Yu Choy to Bok Choy to Napa Cabbage. Almost all of these can be basically cooked in a stir-fry of ....
Comment preview: I am not a vegan, but I have had vegan friends, and I have been too poor to buy meat, so I had to learn how to cook without the glorious gift that is meat. There are a couple ingredients will be your best friends. 1. Avocadoes. They can be used to make gua ....
Comment preview: Rice and pasta are inexpensive but I recommend you get whole wheat or brown rice if you can afford it. Asian markets will typically have rice for much less than some place like Safeway, brown rice included. I think the last time I bought brown rice it wa ....
Comment preview: So, you have beans and rice. This is a good place to start. You're going to need a bit more to make it yummy, so buy some carrots, celery, onions, and maybe some bell pepper if it's on sale. You can use that other stuff for some good meals anyway. If you m ....
