Great article! I’m increasingly fond of the softer varieties of tofu rather than firm and crispy types.

I think the biggest issue for people trying out and enjoying tofu in western cultures has to do with the perception that it is a “meat substitute” - with the accompanying expectations that tofu then most of the time cannot live up to since it is not, in fact, meat - rather than a type of food unique in its own right. I think and hope that this is changing, so that more people will appreciate the joys of tofu.
