Tofu

Today was grocery store day (hooray... not really). I actually have been trying to meal plan and stick to my list of items in order to be more cost efficient at the grocery store. So as I was going through my cook book I saw a recipe for Tofu stir-fry, and it looked yummy. My friend at work told me that she didn't tell her husband tofu was in something and he assumed throughout the meal that it was chicken. Based on the yummy recipe and the testimony to good taste I thought, I'll give it a try. The first major plus was at the grocery store seeing the price of tofu compared to chicken. Tofu is roughly half the price of chicken that is the same weight. I also found some soy beef to use in spaghetti sauce for later in the week. Anyhow, I made the stir-fry tonight (and yes I did inform Tyler about the tofu and even asked him before I bought it if it would be something he would want to try). The stir-fry was good. The tofu definitely did not taste much at all like chicken. It really didn't have much of a taste apart from the stir-fry sauce. The texture was somewhat similar to a cube of quiche. That being said I did miss chicken, but I didn't dislike the tofu. I think it would be similar to me going to a Japanese restaurant and ordering chicken when my favorite is yaki beef. So it is definitely something we may eat again, just not an "oh my I want to eat this every night" sort of meal.
