Good Tofu is not an Oxymoron

I didn't know until a few years ago that it was possible for Tofu to taste good. It doesn't have to be nasty. Freshly made it is a thing of Joy and Beauty. Tofu, after all, is a fresh cheese, just like Ricotta or Yogurt. It just starts off with a different category of "milk".

It is possible to buy fresh tofu in Dallas. Tuyet Tofu‎ 9780 Walnut St, Dallas, TX‎ - (972) 889-8638‎. North of LBJ, east of Central. Corner of Audelia and Walnut, tucked away into a tiny store-front in a large strip center. Almost no one speaks English. They will sell you 4 cakes of fresh tofu for $1.

It has a substantially better flavor and taste than any other tofu I have ever encountered. I tried to find a website,but there isn't one. They just have an address. In addition to Tofu, they sell other food items. I haven't had anything there that I enjoyed, but my Foodie BFF Vanessa, just raves about the balls with the red bean filling.

If you go, consider also making a run through the gia-mormous Asian grocery in the same strip center. Lots of really beautiful produce.
