Looks good mayne

Hummus

>>14562691
Adding butter makes everything better.

>>14562731
Ok fatty

How do I cook tofu lads

>>14562745
Press all the water out, cut it up, and fry it on medium heat in a fuckton of oil until it's crispy. Then add sauce of choice.

>>14562736
I'm underweight. Next time try to refute my point instead of just talking trash.

>>14562724
add liver and you've got pate, which beats hummus

>>14562691

>>14562691
Literally what I’m making for supper but with beans and pico to make tofurritos.

>>14562935
It doesn't "beat" it you fucking degenerate, it's an entirely different food product.

T. Carnie.

Sear it in bacon fat before saucing.

>>14562691
That would be twice as good with chicken.

>>14562691
Some egg ribbons would probably be a halfway decent addition. Also chicken or pork would probably taste better than the tofu.

>>14562756
This, for extra crisp coat the cut up tofu in cornstarch

>>14562736
Yea keep cooking with (((canola))), the plant it comes from is only poisonous

>>14563014
blend pulses = hummus
blend liver = pate
ergo hummus = pate

>>14562946
Retried beans with pork is fucking amazing.

>>14562691
Hey mod, you banned me for racism after simply pointing out that Chinese are cruel to animals? Go fuck yourself you stupid goddamned NIGGER, I’ll show you real racism if you want

>>14562691
tofu is a thing on its own and should not be compared to meat.

>>14562756
Only white folk press their tofu.

Love this movie

>>14563572
You can use it both ways. It is very high in protein and neutral tasting so it can make a fine nutritional substitute for chicken breast, but it also has its own unique applications outside of replacing meat.

>>14562691
That is substantially better as a chicken dish

>>14562946
Better with slow cooked beef

>>14562691
French fries and roasted broccoli.

>>14562691
literally just replace the tofu with pork or beef, or add them, either way definitely better

>>14563752
Can be improved with fish sauce (or even Worcestershire sauce) for increased savoriness.

>>14564102
French fries are best when cooked in duck fat, roasted broccoli can be improved with rendered bacon fat.

>>14564173
That's subjective though, I like broccoli best roasted in olive oil and feel like the piggy taste would ruin the flavor of the broccoli. Same with duck fat fries, that wouldn't allow the taste of salt and potato to shine through and transforms the dish into a meaty tasting one.
>>14564168
There is vegan worchestershire sauce and adding miso paste could also contribute to a savory flavor.

>>14562691
Guacamole, tortilla chips and most types of salsa.

>>14564173
Not beef tallow?

>>14564168
‘Shire sauce is fish sauce though

>>14562691
this but general tso's

>>14564168
I always use capers. Why would fish sauce (or even English fish sauce) be better?

>>14562946
I make that with bacon fat.

>>14562691
Post recipe faggot

Replace the tofu with chicken or pork or shrimp. Boom it's improved. You need to feel satisfaction out of eating healthy to disagree.

>>14562691
>tofu
The meal is already ruined, get rid of the tofu and get an actual meat.

>>14562731
This but yogurt

>>14562691
It can't be improved because it's a disaster already, fuck tofu

>>14562691
>Picture related
No it fucking isn't. It needs beef.

>>14562691
veganism is for white people (and some East Asians)

>>14562731
Technically a lot of drinks and snacks are optimal without any animal products. For eating's sake though, yes, everything is better with animal meat/fat.

I once has deep fried tofu covered in plum (or some other fruit) sauce as a starter at a ramen place. It could not be improved with meat.
Or course you could have deep fried chicken with some other sauce, but that's a decidedly a different dish.
Unfortunately this doesn't satisfy OPs criteria because animal fat is probably better, and it isn't a substitution dish which vegans hate because what they crave is meat combined with moral platitudes and only the one won't do.

>>14562946
Add some pork lard and BANG! It is way better.

i make vegan food all the time but i always make sure to add beef or poultry stock to make it taste good and add nutrition

>>14562691
replace tofu with chicken
>>14562946
add animal fat (lard, schmaltz, tallow, etc)
>>14563752
brush with clarified butter
>>14564102
animal fat in both cases
>>14564285
chicken

>>14562691
>Replace tofu with literally any meat
Wow that was hard

>>14562946
It literally has cheese on it you retard.

>>14562774
Don't be trash

>>14562935
Both are completely different things wtf

The beans and soy sauce are already umami enough

>>14564984
>brush with clarified butter
Kind of redundant
>animal fat in both cases
Or a nut oil, or maybe even olive oil if you want a bit of a harsh flavour

based travellin' vegan bro

>>14565942
I'm not actually vegan, just helpful.

One of the best things I got to eat was in north east india/Punjab, they make these toasted burgers with spiced chickpeas on a flat gas grill attached to a bicycle.
The salad was your typical red oinion/tomato/green chilli and boy did they use a 1:1:1 mix.
At 15 rupees I ordered 6 in a "shut up and take my money" moment and the indian crowd watched me eat them one after the other with a mix of amusement/horror/cow-stare.

Currently cooking sushi with pickled cucumber and carrot, side of miso/djoubanjiang tofu with braised daikon.
Went well, but I need a better way of pickling the cucumber

>>14566042
hope you dont mind me asking,
but were you there for work, passing through or leisure time travels ?
your foodlist above was quite impressive,
are you a chef or just asian food connoiseur ?

>>14566066
I am just kind of wanding around

>>14562691
>not roasting the broccoli instead of boiling/steaming it
If you had animal proteins your brains would be developed enough to avoid this simple mistake. Replace the tofu with literally any kind of meat and you'd already have a superior food item with better tooth and a more robust flavor.

>>14562691
falafel

You're coping now.
