Tofu??????????

Question

ok i wanted to start{trying} to be a vegetarian but whats tofu?

Answer 1

Tofu is made from soy beans. It can be cooked and flavored many ways to taste like meat, cheese, milk, etc.

Answer 2

Tofu is bean curd of the soy variety.  Its made by curdling soy milk.  Wait...I know what your thinking sounds kind of icky, but its not.  Cheese goes through a similar process (I'm more inclinded to think cheese is icky).  There are different types silken, chinese...soft...firm...extra firm.  If your going to try tofu for the first time my suggestion is that you find a Chinese or vegetarian restaurant that serves tofu and try a dish there.  The first time I tried it I bought a package of silken at wal-mart and just tried to cook it without any seasoning.  I didn't care for the texture or taste at that time.  It took me three years to try it again, but this time I tried it at a Thai restaurant.  I'm so glad I did.  I love it now.  I started reading on how to cook it and and experimenting with it recipes.  I have even gotten my meat eating family to enjoy from time to time.  

I'm not big on chain restaurants, but since I don't know if your local chinese restaurant has tofu or not here are a few that offer tofu:

P.F. Chang’s

Moe’s

Planet Sub - I think the still have a vegetarian sub with a tofu spread
