For tofu it is simple. If the turns your stomach don't eat it.
If you are feeling weak and it is not a virus, it might be a parasite. Many of which the body fights off after a week. Usually something in the water.

All these problems. Yes you are right it is ridiculous that two of the worlds richest nations have the highest levels of student debt, decaying infrastructure, and have working homeless people. If only rich people paid more taxes and corporations paid their proper taxes, that would be one possible solution.
Thatcher thought that putting business people in charge of public bodies would work. Lots of QUANGOs created, and the failings continued. I think the lesson still to be learned is that public institutions cannot be run as profit centres, and the money has to come from somewhere; and that means taxation.

My selfish self does not want to pay taxes, nobody does, but taxes are a necessary evil.

Look into the tea leaves for an answer on that one.

Maybe I can get the ball rolling.

Fried tofu.
Take a slab of the wet white tofu. Slice about 6-10 mm (1/4-3/8") thick. About 25 mm (1") wide by 50 mm (2") long, depends on the size of you tofu block.

Fry on a low-med heat in a lightly oiled almost dry pan until golden, flip occasionally. Remember, tofu is already cooked, you are just heating through, browning and crisping the sides.

We use one of those cheap 'cake makers', that look like a round sandwich grill with flat/smooth plates.

After cooking you can sprinkle with a little salt.
I am a meat eater, but I enjoy tofu this way.

After living here for a while, most of us have picked up recipe tips and ideas for local foods.
It would be nice to share a few. Hence this thread.
