I can take a big thing of tofu & eat it plain. What I don't like is when tofu is being something it isn't. Tofu turkeys or tofu roasts or tofu egg salad, &c. They do something to the tofu that makes it taste funny. I avoid all that dreck. But dice me up some tofu & warm it in a saute pan or drop it in my miso or hot & sour soup, & I'm quite happy. Let tofu be tofu, I say!

Oh yes... MISO! Me so into Miso! Me love it long time.
My fave comfort food is a rich miso soup with cubed tofu, potatoes, bean sprouts, onions and lots of seaweed, topped off with a large dollop of sticky brown rice. A similar Korean concoction with lots of chili peppers is called
chi-gae. So yummy!
