If you know anything about vegans, then you know that we love tofu.

So much so that it’s become sort of a go-to stereotype among the non-vegans… and with good reason – we eat a lot of soy! (I mean, after all, there’s a whole industry of t-shirts with smiling squares of tofu, certainly catered almost exclusively to vegans.)

The only problem with this stereotype is that, from what I understand, many non-vegans imagine us plant-eater types gleefully slurping down bland white gooey stuff.

No, dude.

Tofu is the vehicle for flavor, friends! As I explain in the video, tofu is a blank canvas for you to add your own style of gastronomical gorgeousness.

Feeling BBQ-y? Tofu’s got your back. Craving a lil’ chocolate fiesta? Tofu, baby. (More below.)

Now maybe you’re convinced that tofu can be delicious, and that you can create so many delectable dishes with it, but maybe you’ve “heard” stuff about soy…

So, before anyone gets all incredulous and starts spewing out: “But, but… estrogen! And… man-boobs?!”, please read this article Chloe wrote a heckuva long time ago now (which also has a fun video) packed with info.

In short, soy contains phytoestrogens, guys. Aka, not estrogen-estrogens!

So now that we’re all on the same tofu-loving page, here are some recipes to tickle your fancy and get you movin’ and groovin’ in the kitchen.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tofu-tutorial! If you enjoyed this video, please let me know in the comments. And if you try one of these easy-peasy recipes, make sure to let me know how it goes for you.
