Mega tofu thread

Natto seems a little disterbing at first but its growing on me.. I just placed an order from www.asianfoodgrocer.com well see how it works out.

I cooked a Tofu-Turkey last night (first time), it was really good (added frozen vegetables & rice per the instructions & baked an hour and a half) . . . I usually buy 5-packages of tofu & add it to soups and noodle dishes each week. I also love those soy sausages, I don't cook them but usually eat them as snacks or roll them up in a whole-wheat tortilla with sauerkraut (or lettuce), soy cheese, mustard and bake 5-minutes. Don't make soup too much in the summer.
