Fuck off back to your containment board you gook loving prick.

Tofu is good at absorbing flavor. Of course it's going to taste bland just by itself.
>>7358761
just try it!

How do I fry tofu
>>7358761
You're just not sophisticated enough to notice the subtle earthy flavors and umami overtones.
i like aburaage but atsuage is also good, i think
>>7358757
Nope it was invented in china.
>>7358949
Literally everything in Japan was invented in China except Shinto.

Actually good tofu has a very nice flavor on its own. Alas finding good tofu in the West is very difficult.

I love fried tofu. It's what I regularly use in stir fries and soups. Although I also like sprouted tofu.
>>7358732
I'm Chinese so I was forced to eat that bland shit as a child.
>>7359085
I used to disagree with that but I'm finding that even mediocre tofu's flavour isn't half bad.

It's concentrated soy milk. Some people like the taste of soy milk.
That's like saying mozzarella doesn't have any flavor. It does, just not a lot.

Japan sucks at creating new things, but they're really good at taking stuff from other countries and making it way better.
I'd love to do tofu more often, but I just have no idea how to work with it.
Panfrying - it's either completely black underneath, or I end up with soggy, nasty crust
Can you grill this shit?
How do I cook it without having to set aside half a day for fucking draining/pressing and still have it fuck up?

I like to cut the block into thin slices, marinate for a few hours, then bake them until brown and a bit crispy.
Makes a great sandwich filling.
Slicing the block first makes the slices absorb more flavor than doing it after. I usually make a teriyaki marinade.

East Asians are constantly getting into territorial circle jerks about who had what first. It's so amusing.
