Textures of tofu

BREAKFAST --- coffee
LUNCH --- rice with curried chicken
AFTERNOON-TEATIME --- apple
DINNER --- sauteed shrimp with soft tofu and minced tofu skin | sauteed snap peas | rice | fennel and avocado salad | red wine

• the variety of tofu comes endless, sort of like cheese. besides of flavors ( sweet, salty, smoky, tart, or stinky ), the textures can be silky soft, smooth firm, creamy, crispy, or chewy. the combination of minced tofu skin ( chewy like meat) and really soft Korean silky tofu works very well in the shrimp dish

• gave the pancake with filling and the tofu skin dish ( from K.S. store) a try, they were not good. the bitter melon is refreshing.
