Tofu has had a bit of a bad reputation for years, but I think that it because people haven’t really understood how to use it properly. When cooked the right way, tofu is delicious, flavourful and is such a great source of plant based protein. Seasoned well, tofu soaks up all the flavours of the seasoning and is one of the easiest plant based meat substitutes. Tofu has a natural very meat like texture that works incredibly well both on it’s own and in dishes. It’s a chewy, filling and low calorie addition to any diet…and it can be mouthwateringly good if you cook it and season it the right way.
