I just wing it honestly. I use firm/extra firm tofu and press it (put paper towels on both sides of the tofu and something heavy on top like a bowl of water and leave it for 15 minutes or so). The just fry it in maybe a tablespoon of oil with some seasoning. A little turmeric gives it a nice color and flavor.

Hash browns, onions and bell peppers go a long ways too if you have them around.

I’ve moved on to tofu scramble. Not as good but cheap as still pretty tasty.

This was my first DA game, and it sounds like going in blind really improved my experience. I had a blast, kinda bummed by the hate.

Not defending your friend, but I think part of it is the association with highly processed foods.

I developed a soy allergy, and I was shocked to learn how much it’s restricted my diet. In two years I’ve found one brand of hot dog buns I can eat. If you you look at almost any fast food restaurants allergen menu you will see soy in almost every single item. Mayo is a effectively whipped soybean oil.

I don’t think it’s a conspiracy, but it’s a cheap additive and seems to have some preservative quality, and a good indication that you’re food is highly processed. I eat much healthier now, largely against my will.
