This recipe was awesome. Before I became a vegetarian I loved my meats and try my best to recreate them. For chicken I have resigned myself to buying morning star but no more. I just made this for my female companion who says it was sellable good. I am now being worshipped as a culinary god. This is my new jams

Thanks. I'm supposed to cook for my new vegan girlfriend next weekend and have absolutely no idea what to make! I found tons of recipes at this vegetarian recipe site but with soo many to choose from I just got confused. Do you have any recommendations, like .. the tastiest vegetarian recipe, ever, or something?! Thanks in advance! I hope it goes well

You’re always hearing on the news about how soy is great for you and then two days later they’re on tv talking about how it leads to breast cancer, etc. What is a foodie to do?

I may have to give these a go, just to see the look on my husband’s face.

I remember when I was a vegetarian I used to buy those Morningstar Farms Buffalo “Wings”. Yeah. They were pretty damn good BUT all of that stuff is just so chocked with sodium and so heavily processed. Still, in a pinch…

I’m sure tofu is quite healthy in moderation, as Kristin mentions. I am very leery of soy products that are not organic, because they use a tremendous amount of pesticides and fertilizers that have a very big carbon footprint. I haven’t researched organic soy enough to know how much of a difference there is in the carbon footprint of organic versus conventional soy products. It’s great to see a recipe for soy that is not just a stir-fry… I had to eat the stuff as a kid and think the battered and fried tofu looks much more appealing!

I am the “learning to like tofu” husband and I have to say we had this last night buffalo style and it was very good. I think I even had seconds. If we had a little blue cheese to go with it I would have a hard time not thinking these were boneless chicken wings. Really good!

Made a little update with another “wing” style sauce … really yummy.

We are definitely going to try this out—I haven’t had anything buffaloed in years! We eat tofu about once a week, and finally found that if you fry it in a bit of olive oil on high heat until it is brown, it develops a nice chewy texture. Our two-year-old loves to dip it in a little bit of soy sauce, even when it is part of another recipe.

You know Amanda, I have wondered about that too. At times, I have felt like we were getting too much soy in our diet (especially when my daughter was still allergic to dairy). But I have come around on that … I think it is probably a good thing in moderation (like everything else). I definitely only buy the organic tofu made with non-genetically modified soybeans, but beyond that we eat it for dinner maybe twice a month at most. It just gives us another vegetarian option that isn’t beans, rice, pasta, etc.

Hmm. Even when I was a vegetarian for 6 years I tended to stear clear of tofu, simply because I couldn’t be arsed messing around with it to make it edible. And yeah, it’s the texture that puts me off. I’m all for cutting down on the amount of meat that we consume but part of me wonders if tofu is that good considering how processed it is. Any thoughts?

Although I will confess that this makes me want to give it a go! I love anything slathered in buffalo sauce. I don’t get it nearly often enough living here in the UK.
