Some women don’t do well on tofu because of the estrogen effects of processed soy products (Edamame doesn’t seem to do this). However, as a vegan, your choices are limited so you do need to make some substitutions here and there. In your case, I would say that tofu is going to be a necessity. But do try and not eat it every single day, vary your intake.

You do not include it as a lean protein source, but as someone striving to follow a vegan diet, many of the sources you do include are not acceptable to me. Can I still eat my beloved tofu? Thanks!

However, this is one of the better one's I've seen. But remember, it's still VERY calorie and starch dense, so use moderately if at all.

I calculated that every loaf has 50g of fibre, to only 37g of sugar, some of which the yeast would eat so it is probably even less. :) hey Rylan,

Receipe 1 (Shitake mushrooms & Chinese Kai Lan ) - wash shitake mushrooms & soak it in a bowl of water until it softens. Do not throw away this water. Use some of it for cooking with the mushrooms. It’s very tasty. - wash the vegetables (Chinese Kai Lan) - lightly fry the garlic (pounded) until it is fragrant - put in the Chinese Kai lan & stir fry - then add in the shitake mushrooms, water (from soaked mushroom), oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon of XO, some pepper or red chillies (to taste) and stir fry. - Ready to serve. Receipe 2 ( Chinese Rojak) - Put prawn paste (can be bought ready made), chilli paste, some sugar, sprinkle of lime juice and mix in a mixing bowl - Put in freshly cut, ripe pineapple cubes, slices of cucumber, slices of green apples, brean spouts (boiled), slices of Chinese turnips, slices of tau kwa pok (dried beancurd which has been barbequed without any oil), crispy cuttlefish (that has been flattened and barbequed without any oil). - Mix all the ingredients - Splinkle some grounded peanuts and serve. Receipe 3 (Chinese tofu & minced, lean pork) - Cut the Chinese tofu (soft beancurd) into cubes - lightly fry garlic until fragrant - add in the minced, lean pork & fry - add in the tofu cubes, oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon of XO, pepper or red chilli (to taste) and stir fry - ready to serve Here’s three recipes that May sent me through email that might interest some of you…
