I do love my tofu though, so it might not hurt to cut back on soy elsewhere in my diet. This looks like another delicious preparation to remember.

I also agree with you about moderation here, and I agree with Gina that the issue probably has more to do with processed soy products and hidden soy than with the occasional enjoyment of tofu, tempeh, or soy beans. The recipe looks great, too! Great article!

I know it bothers some people, but I've never had a problem with it. I think the bigger problem than things like tofu, tempeh, and edamame beans, is that soy is used as a filler in millions of processed foods. I do try to limit the amount of soy I eat too, but I just really really like tofu :) Your tofu looks great! I completely agree on the soy.

What I believe and adhere to is there is moderation. This dish sounds so appetizing and easy - goes to my "must-do" list right away :) I completely agree with you on balance – as they say “too much of anything is good for nothing”, even when it comes to the so-called miracle food, which I don’t believe in, btw.

I do agree with you about moderation. We eat tofu but not everyday. Tonight we had it in a vegan nicoise salad that i have yet to blog about. Soy is great with orange.
