What would you like to do with it? There are all kinds of different ways you can prepare it.
I'm thinking a Thai curry vegetable tofu soap. I've eaten tofu lot's of times, just haven't made any at the house....It wasn't on my bucket list.
That sounds like a good thing to do with it. It'll absorb a good amount of the flavor from the soup. If you want it to absorb more, you can drain it about an hour before you are planning to cook it, slice it thick, and gently press it or just let it sit in a colander so that some of the water comes out of it.
Should I apply a weight?
Looks delicious! I normally use lemon juice, but vinegar is more like a restaurant.Short cut Hot and Sour soup.
2 quarts of chicken stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 vinegar
Heaping table spoon sriracha
Mushrooms . . . even sliced white button will do but maybe cloud ears . . . as many as you like
Bamboo shoots
chopped up left over pork or chicken
1/4" strips of tofu
Once everything is boiling drizzle in a beaten egg . . .a la egg drop soup.
Thicken if you like with up to 3 tbsp of corn starch mixed with 3 tbsp of water.
Garnish with chopped green onions
Toss it in the trash and get yourself some red meat to eat instead!
I was in one of the largest tofu factories (outside of Shenzhen) once. Have not been able to eat it since...
I enjoy tofu but never go out of my way to order it. I will follow the thread curious to see what you make!
You would feel the same about beef, pork and chicken in a butcher shop in Mexico City.
