What is the texture like? I'm looking to make this for a few vegetarians at a upcoming family reunion and wondering if it would work for a vegetarian Al Pastor or Carnitas.

I'm so asian my ching chong name scares white ppl, I tell em to call me Charlie. Even then I don't eat tofu but once a month, cuz I'm American and I eat meat, don't need the paupers food.
And again, the secret to good tofu is to dredge it in cornstarch, then fry it and dip it in "Lee kum kee" oyster sauce.
Of course if you really want it crispy, squeeze out the water by placing a towel under the block and a pan on top.
The secret to tofu is that, tofu sucks and had no flavor, but is like a sponge, so treat it like such.
If you want to up your saucy tofu game use a food saver container and drop a few tsp in, turn on and the sauce should spread throughout the tofu, freeze for 15 min with the tofu still vac,d then cornstarch and fry.

Make sure to get firm tofu if you're going to fry it. Cut in rectangles and fried in grapeseed oil, dip in whatever sauce you like.

Soy has a lot of estrogen in it. I see this all the time because dumb people think that giving hormones to beef cows is going to make them grow tits or something. I don't know if the amount in soy can actually affect you though. I don't think eating food with hormones in it is the same as actually having it produced in your body at all.

Jesus that's scary when you compare it to your body and it's natural production.

So I am actually loving the pressure cooker I bought for its ability to save time. I used to love slow cooker for this purpose but pressure cooker is just as good if not better.
Cheat out pork ribs in 45 minutes. Pulled pork in ~75 minutes. Shredded chicken breast in 25 minutes. Starting to make all sorts of shit in it lately.

I just harvested my first bunch of jalapenos from our plant. I sliced and pickeled them for tacos/sandwiches. Before doing that, though, I ate a raw slice and these things are way fucking hotter than the ones I usually get at the grocery store. I had some slight regret for a moment.

Yeah I grew them a few years ago and same result, hot as fuck compared to store, way fucking bigger on average too. They were almost to scotch bonnet heat levels, almost.
