    I don’t know why, but tofu makes me ill. I’ve tried it made differently, and in all but one case, my stomach and it didn’t agree.

    One Thai restaurant had a great tofu that I was able to eat, but that’s been the only one, and it’s over 1000 miles to get more.

      If you’re making it on your own, the problem might be that you don’t press it. Unpressed tofu makes me feel sick too, and it’s really vital to do so so it can absorb flavors.

      If it’s when you’re eating out, I’m not really sure in that case. Tofu can be anything from extremely soft to pretty firm, so it could be the firmness of the tofu that’s an issue here, but it’s hard to say. I like it when tofu is very firm and then cooked to be crispy personally.

        I’ve never cooked tofu myself. The one good meal I had, I had been eating for 6 months before realizing it was tofu! It was great. Sadly, I moved from South Texas to the north, and cannot find a place that can prepare tofu I can stomach.
