Is there a product like tofu that is made with whey instead of soy?

Question

I avoid tofu because of the phytoestrogens. I'd like to have something like tofu to use in my meals each day.

Answer 1

It's called seitan, made from wheat gluten.  Actually, it's pretty good too.

Answer 2

yes.  it is made with milk, slowly bring milk almost to a boil, just as it starts to come to the beginning of the boil add a coagulant - like lemon juice, grapefruit juice, lime juice about 8 lemons will do.  pour in slowly as you stir - reduce heat.  let stand and cool - then pour into a pan with cheese cloth as strainer - WAH _ LA - Curd or paneer.  and if you do not want to make it yourself, usually you can purchase it in Indian/Asian markets.  Hare Krishna - hope this helps  :)

Answer 3

Seitan is a great alternative.  If you purchase gluten flour you make on your own.  Its really easy too.  Seitan even has a tougher texture than tofu, and is great in anything.  If you go to asian markets you will find "mock" duck, abalone, etc.  THis is all seitan.  Restaurants that are vegetarian will have this as well.
