  • Tofu can be made to have any flavour you want. It’s very absorbent of any marinade you give it.

    One is my favourite things to make is what I call Seitofu (seitan covered tofu). The seitan acts like a protein heavy batter so they kind of become like the chicken balls you have sweet and sour Chinese with (don’t know if that’s a thing in the US).

    • Chop up tofu into small chunks
    • put into a tub you have a lid for
    • cover with a marinade (I often get pre flavoured smokey tofu so I just use soy sauce or liquid aminos)
    • put on lid and shake
    • pour in a bit of vital wheat gluten (what becomes the seitan) and shake again
    • repeat from marinade step onwards a few times if needed and depending on how thick you want the seitan to be
    • stick into an air fryer for a few minutes
    • separate the pieces, shake them etc
    • put in again and repeat until they’re as crispy as you want then to be

    They’re a lovely high protein snack to just munch on their own or great in Chinese style dishes like I mentioned earlier. You can also use a conventional oven but I wouldn’t know the timings. Air fryer is just quicker and easier to check on so I prefer that.


  • Yeah it was decided initially so that the creator could still benefit from it and recoup r&d costs before a third party could copy their design without the r&d and be able to sell the product cheaper.

    But now companies just patent any idea without using them just so other companies can’t.

    If a company doesn’t use their patent within a certain time frame it should be completely revoked.
