Hummus is some good stuff.

It is...homemade hummus goes on my sandwiches in place of mayo.

 

[Metryshooter]

I too have eaten it in miso soup, but stavation excluded I'd rather suck the lint from Rosie O'Donnells navel then make a sandwich of it.

Hummus has nothing to do with the tofu in miso soup....two different things completely.

 

[Metryshooter]

Have you ever had hummus in miso soup?...neither have I. Obviously I wasn't refering to hummus.

Relax...nothing surprises me on this site anymore. Your sandwich comment came right after mine so i assumed you were commenting on my post.

 

[Metryshooter]

Absolutely no problem here. Inflection is lost is text. I didn't mean anything at all towards either your post or hummus, but a tofu sandwich...

Ingredients

1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 clove garlic, smashed
8 fresh basil leaves, torn
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 large egg
1 12-ounce package firm tofu, drained and sliced into 8 pieces
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 loaf whole-wheat Italian bread, cut into 4 pieces and split in half
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 pound baby spinach (about 8 cups)

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil and 1 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.

Toss the breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons parmesan and the Italian seasoning on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Dip the tofu in the egg, then in the crumbs, turning to coat.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu and cook until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the bread cut-side up on a broiler pan; spread the bottom halves with sauce, then top with tofu, more sauce, the mozzarella and remaining parmesan. Broil until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and let wilt, about 1 minute. Place on top of the cheese and cover with the bread tops.

Holy crap! 1200mg sodium! My heart would explode if I ate that.

I do like me some fried tofu though.

There's the obvious answer... Fry it in bacon grease.

Bacon = Meat Candy

That was basically my original point as well.

I mean... We're in South Louisiana (most of us)-- we eat things that the rest of the country are afraid to even touch...

Went on a hunting trip 2 years ago in Northern Quebec and our guide packed nothing but Spam and pork n beans...and a skillet. Didn't think much of it before the trip but 5 days of salty meat and fatty beans and I was hooked.

I would completely agree with this statement!!! I mean, I know people who catch and keep wild animals to raise and then fatten them up and slaughter them. For crying outloud, people eat tree rats!!! I know, I know....... I just cant get past the furry rat image in my head. I will hunt them, kill them, clean them and cook them but not eat em!!!!

I'd NEVER feed my son Tofu or any soy product. I try to avoid it where ever possible. Soy is not healthy. Soy has naturally occurring enzyme inhibitors in it. I have including one link below that sums up the problem with soy and Tofu. The only soy products I'll eat are fermented soy like Miso.

Please before eating anymore Tofu or soy please read the link below.

Got any articles that actually include source information? That one reads like one of Hitler's Nuremberg speechs.

Written by Dr. Joseph Mercola aka The Beef Industry.

On a serious note, I do prefer tempeh over most any other tofu product.

You're right about the tone of that link. There are plenty of others out there too. I suggest you research it yourself and come to your own conclusion. From what I've read I'm not willing to take the chance to see if they're right.

Anything taken to the extreme is hazardous to your health...it's been known for years that soy contains phytoestrogens that act just like estrogen in the human body. Hormones stay in a state of balance so excess estrogen causes a reduction of testosterone in men.

That being said.. it doesn't stop me from eating edamame and miso soup every once in a while
