        Oh. For a second there I thought it was going to be like “Tofu only refers to a specific kind of compressed soybean and you’ve got other variants like ‘Sofu’, ‘Kofu’, and ‘Tafu’”.

        Surely, I can’t be the only one where that came to mind?

          Tofu is nothing more than a vessel for sauce, its only as good as what’s on it

                  …any? Maybe with exception of chicken (tho a well roasted chicken with skin has a lot of taste even without copious amounts of spices) but I was never into high-quality poultry. All beef is routinely cooked by plain frying or grilling. Grilled pork, bacon is also a big thing. Bacon is meat, people eat it without spices or anything. Roast birbs.

                  Of course this all under assumption you like the taste of meat, which not everyone does and it’s fine.

            Proper Tofu, smoked. Press the water out, dice, shake in a bag with oil, sesame and flour, then stir-fry. Try that, just one more time (ofc you don’t have to), with matching sides, and see how you like that. Can be quite not-so-bad.

            But I can understand that you don’t like it!
