Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So uh, in the nicest way possible, I don’t recommend the Western methods people suggested here. Like I’m genuinely not trying to be a hater, maybe I’m the weird one but I don’t think anyone presses store bought tofu lmao.

Try Asian preparations. Tofu does, in fact, have incredible flavor. Simply slice some firm tofu into… slices, pan fry until golden, black pepper, dip into a mix of soy sauce and sesame oil and chopped green onions and crushed sesame seeds.

Make Mapo tofu, or some sundubu guk/jigae.

Crumb down some soft/med tofu, mash it into some steamed or raw broccoli, maybe a lil salt or oil dressing if your choice. Ratio is very light, think broccoli coated with tofu and not a tofu salad.

The culinary possibilities are endless and very easy and the Western culinary tradition is just not very good with it to be completely honest.

Take some miso or daenjang, tofu, and water. You got a stew going. Add whatever you like.

Take the above pan fried tofu. Some lettuce. Make a lettuce wrap with ssamjang. Some cucumbers maybe. Some kimchi.

Raw tofu wrapped in kimchi. Done.

Super versatile, I could go on and on…
