Tofu is a staple for many vegans. It is super versatile and can have so many different tastes depending on how you cook it! You can use it in sweet or savory and hot or cold dishes. It can also be used in a multitude of cuisines! With so many different tofu recipes, there’s something for everyone! While tofu can sometimes get a bad rap, the neutral flavor is what’s so great about it. Marinate it in soy sauce, coat it in breadcrumbs, or blend it for a creamy dessert base. The point it, you have control over the flavor and can just use it for the texture if you so choose. Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein to add to veggie bowls and stir-frys!
