soy? tofu?

Hey ladies! hope you all had a great labor day weekend! I had a lot of fun...lost a little of my voice so it's been rough talking to everyone today..lol...
anyway...a few months ago, one of the girls I work with at the gym was talking about tofu and I've been wanting to try it out since but just haven't gotten around to it. I finally looked up some recipes online today but I was wondering if anyone here is into the organic food thing. My first step was drinking soy milk and I love it. I actually didn't know what tofu was until today so I want to start educating myself more on this whole thing. If anyone has any tips I'd love to hear them!
thanks

But I've seen other *regulars* here post about both...so you're bound to hear something
soon, Kim. Actually, Barb is probably our most 'organically inclined' but she's on
vacation this week. But Tracy is our new 'cooking queen', and she USED to do the soy
thing until she found out if was bad for her thyroid condition.
Anyway, good luck! * stel *

Hi Kim,
I use Tofu mainly in stir fry dishes and treat it just like I would anyother tender veg. I cut it up in 1" cubes. It's also good in clear soups I think.
It mainly picks up other flavors, I couldn't even tell you how it tastes plain. I know people who do use it as a meat substitute. I've never tried it fried but hope to someday as I've seen it offered. Good luck and enjoy. :)

Sorry not much into either ..
However I am sure someone has already told you some great stuff about that right
Enjoy :)

Besides some people with thyroid problems, women with a history of breast cancer need to watch their soy consumption as well. I've got my own hormonal issues that are actually made *worse* by too much soy, but I can still eat tofu every now and again.
Good luck, just play around with it! If you like miso soup, you can put cubed tofu in that and don't forget about pad thai!

Thanks for the tips! ;o)
Much love,

>>My personal favorite way to eat tofu is marinated in teriyaki sauce or with garlic. It doesn't take long to marinate, but if you're not used to the texture, cut it up into smaller pieces. If you're going to stir fry it (or just fry it), you might want to squeeze the water out of it, if it's the water-packed kind.
**Yum, I know what I'm buying tomorrow. :) I buy the kind that has rather a dry texture so that really I don't have to squeeze the water out though.

So funny because they were showing a Japanese soup on the food channel and it looked so good and colorful. And about 2 cups of dice sized pieces of tofu for it. :)
Thanks for the good suggestions judie rae. I think it really is just another good food. :)
