I have not yet tried seitan. The only way I have ever liked tofu is from

Whole Foods' deli, in Kung Pao Tofu. So I know that I like it if

it's prepared well! :) It was wonderful, but I just can't do anything with

tofu to make it resemble food in any way :( I'm going to forget about it for

a while, I might mess around with it some other time.

I like the smoked/baked tofu, I put it plus some quorn pieces in a stir fry

(yeah, I do lots of those! and my family will eat them so I can make them

without meat). I've also tried that " dry fry " method for tofu someone posted

about a while back, it was good. And another way that was also posted here,

marinated and baked, I cut it in small cubes, it was a hit with my daughter's

" vegetarian " friends! I sometimes fry the extra firm cut into cubes or

smallish pieces to get a little color on it, add some tumeric and garlic powder,

add to stir fry, it all gets " lost " that way. I also like to freeze it,

defrost and squeeze the water out and make mock tuna or chicken salad (I can see

Donna cringing! lol).

 

oh, I had some " chicken " salad made with TVP from Whole Foods (trying to find

things hubby will try that may " fool " him! (he's more willing to try it without

over thinking if he doesn't know up front)-it was pretty good, a little bland so

I jazzed it up with seasonings. I have some TVP but haven't tried it yet, I

think I'm going to soon. I also had seitan (packaged) that I didn't like, odd

flavor, so I'm leary to try it again real soon, but I will eventually.

 

Next I'm trying those veggie burgers Donna posted and also the chick pea cutlets

from Veganomicon!
