I figured out I was less interested in the meat than I was in what made the meat actually taste good, your buffalo sauces, barbeque, etc, and just did the same thing I was doing but with tofu and broccoli.

When I first started I was all about these weirdo “secret tricks” to get tofu to “taste like meat” but I quickly figured out it just wasn’t worth the effort for my tastes and stuck to pan frying or raw tofu afterwards.
