Tofu sales skyrocket during the pandemic, as consumers search for affordable meat alternatives

5. Tofu has been around for a few thousand years. It's bean curd. It doesn't have flavor really you

have to put sauces on it or sometimes marinate it.

You can use soft tofu for a tofu scramble.

For a more meaty texture extra firm tofu is best and if you really want the meat texture freezing it and defrosting it gives more texture. I don't bother because I like it a little soft. There are lots of recipes online. I mostly marinate it in soy sauce and make a stir fry with other veggies and seasonings. I use garlic, ginger, mustard and balsamic vinegar.

Since it has so little flavor to me the brand doesn't matter unless you buy products that are already marinated.

Here in Chicago we have a local tofu company Phoenix Bean https://www.phoenixbean.com/products.html

Trader Joes has a teriyaki tofu that's already marinated. : https://traderjoesrants.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/trader-joes-organic-baked-tofu/ it's pretty good.

Aldi sometimes has one, too.

Most grocery stores have tofu these days.
