How have you tried tofu? I know how it's cooked makes a huge difference. I quite like it fried, or mashed with spicy stuff and sauteed, or pressed and dry-fried. (Dry-frying is where you cut the tofu into thin strips and let them cook in a dry pan. It makes something very firm and chewy.)

I had firm tofu cut into steak-like things, fried, covered in sesame seeds. I suffer from the problem of not liking spicy things, but finding that technique exceptionally bland.

Tricky. I love spicy things, so that's my main approach with tofu. I haven't put seeds all over it. That seems like it'd be weird.

A marinade might make a difference? Especially a savory one, with soy sauce or something? I have a tofu press, so I can press and marinade at the same time.

I tried one of those croissant-donut things today. It was kind of overrated (at least the Vietnamese knockoff version - I've never been to that one spot in New York), but fairly nice.

Yes, that was my next plan :D

I don't think I've heard of croissant-donut things. o_O

Good luck! Let me know how it turns out!

They're some new food trend that's ultra-popular in New York city, and one bakery in Vietnam started selling them. They're nice, but not great.
