Firm tofu specifically.

I usually make Indian food but want to try making dishes from other cuisines. Please give me your suggestions and recipes

    Many western people I talk to like mapo doufu (麻婆豆腐). It is spicy and from Sichuan province. The name refers to an old woman with pockmarks. It is friendly to vegan and non-vegan depending on what you put in. Usually it is made with soft, but it can work with others. I can write you a recipe but it will probably not have units as I work by feeling. There are many online too.

      This is the correct answer.

      If I had to pick a suicide method it would be replacing my blood with that sauce intravenously.

      It's unironically as good as that terrible Rick and Morty meme.

      Yeah, there are a lot of good Chinese recipes for tofu. My favourite ones are the dry tofus, where you take dry sliced tofus and fry that shit up with peppers and whatnot. Also I love frozen tofus, the ice crystals that forms in it turns it into a sponge that's great for soups.
