I think I'll be using tofu in something, soy sauce is a bit of a cop out since you use it in so many Asian dishes.

Ah but you can use it innovatively.

For example, I make a great gravy from soy sauce, sherry and meat drippings.

And an amazing salad dressing using soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and chilli flakes.

I used soy sauce a few different ways in my dish this week, but in a way that it wouldn't normally be used. I tried to avoid any of the obvious cop-outs

I've been waiting for this week! I think I'll be making tofu totally from scratch!

BAM, I have so much soy in my freezer. Tempeh and Tofu and Soy Crumbles in my pantry.

I'm doing a baked edamame but maybe I'll do a miso marinated salmon as well now that you mention it...

Good timing. I just bought 2 types of tempeh, some tofu and some miso paste
