Tofu is a reasonable protein source but, by itself is blah and
textureless. It will soak up some sauces and isn't bad baked with shoyu
and garlic. Freeze-dried tofu has quite a good chewy texture but it
takes a while to prepa freeze, thaw and drain several times. I'm told
freeze-dried can be bought but I've never been able to find it.
