TOFU

i think this is my first post about food oh well.

so i think i found a new favourite food a couple of months ago. i really like dessert tofu. i think its pretty good for you, other than the sugar they put in for flavour, but otherwise tofu itself as a food is great! ive always had tofu in meals and stuff so im used to the taste. i like tofu because it has a sort of refreshing taste, and makes you feel refreshed after eating it. tofu is pretty nutritious too, it has quite a bit of protein in it so it makes it pretty filling. tofu is a way better alternative than having a bowl of cereal to fill you up. 

theres all kinds of ways you can eat tofu too and theres different kinds you can buy or make. dessert tofu is good for a snack, but you can buy regular tofu for meals and stuff. one of my favourite tofu dishes is agedashi tofu. its just tofu that was fried and also has dashi (some sort of usually fish based stock) cooked into it too. its pretty yummy, i recommend it. my mom also uses tofu a lot in miso soup. she makes her own miso soup and we use tofu in that. its either tofu or fried tofu that gets put into the soup. i prefer the plain tofu but theyre almost equal. miso soup is also pretty good for you too. you can put a bunch of veggies and other stuff in it too. like enoki mushrooms or shimeji mushrooms, usually some wakame (seaweed), carrots, chopped cabbach, daikon (radish)... one of my favourites is when you can put like little clams in it, and it gives so much flavour. i dont know what sort of clams but theyre small and ive only had that sort of miso soup at my grandmas house in japan. ALSO i really like miso soup with shrimp cooked with it. its literally cooked with shrimp heads and it makes the soup have a shrimpy taste, and you can leave a shrimp head in a bowl of yours too haha. 

anyways, tofu is cool. its healthy for your and is a great substitute for meat and other snack foods. story time! i remember once when i was pretty small i went to the tofu store with my grandma when i was in japan. there are literally stores just for tofu, but thats the best stuff.
