LOL... DH didn't grow up with tofu. I don't think he ever
had it until he was in his late twenties at the very least, but he
really took a liking to it. So far, his favorite ways of eating it
are in a stir-fry (could be pan fried or deep fried first, or left as
is) or with spiced ground pork as in Ma Po Tofu (which is tonight's
dinner, actually), or in agedashi tofu as an appetizer at sushi bars,
although we've made it at home for the main course. He does also like
inari sushi, but I'm not as fond of it. We prefer the Hinochi (sp?)
brand, soft tofu.
