Protein Bites
Crispy fried soy snacks?
There’s a cafe in town that makes these little salty soy “bites” — they are crispy fried, maybe made from TVP or some other sort of soy protein, and look kind of like chunks of sausage. Has anyone had something similar and if so, do you have a recipe?
I know this probably isn’t what you’re looking for, but a friend of mine has tried it and says it’s really good. She recommends you give it a try.
Fried Tofu Sticks Recipe courtesy Amazing Soy (Morrow, 2001) by Dana Jacobi
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
16 ounces soft or firm tofu
1 1/2 cups canola oil
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large eggs, beaten
Honey Mustard (see recipe below)
Toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Mix in the oregano, thyme, salt and pepper.
Cut the block of tofu horizontally in half. Then cut it in half the long way. Make 5 cuts perpendicular to the long cut, creating 24 pieces. Cover a sheet pan with paper towels. Place the tofu in one layer on the towels. Blot the tofu, pressing it gently with additional towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 375 degrees F. Cover a second baking sheet with more paper towels. Place the beaten eggs in a wide, shallow dish.
Dip the tofu in the egg. Dredge the pieces in the bread crumb mixture until completely coated. Slip the breaded tofu into the hot oil, 3 or 4 pieces at a time. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately, accompanied by the Honey Mustard for dipping. Or, let the sticks cool and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Before serving, recrisp by baking in a 350 degree F oven for about 12 minutes.
Honey Mustard
3/4 cup firm silken tofu
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons wildflower honey
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
Puree the tofu in a food processor. Add the mustard, honey, sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, dry mustard, and salt. Process until well blended. The finished dipping sauce will have the texture of runny mayonnaise.
Turn the sauce into a container, cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. This gives the ingredients time to meld and their flavors to develop. Chilling thickens the sauce to a spreadable texture. Stirring brings it back to the texture of a dip or a thick sauce. (This condiment will keep for up to 1 week, tightly covered and refrigerated.)
Makes 1 1/2 cups

help with eating……..and protein shakes?
i would like to know if anyone has this problem and what i could do to fix it. i have a problem with eating food. I have lost 60 lbs in the past 6 months and now when i try to eat something i can only take 3 or 4 bites and im FULL! i cant even make myself eat more of it because i feel that i would be sick. so does anyone have a problem like this? if so what can i do to fix it? i dont want to lose anymore weight or ill look anorexic. next question my husband bought some protein shake powder mix. it says to mix 1 scoop with 8 oz of milk or water. well we mix it with milk and it clumps up badly, the powder doesnt dissolve and it makes the shake nasty to drink. can anyone tell me a way to mix the shake and not have clumps please? lastly would it be ok for women to drink protein shakes that men drink?
thanks everyone, this has been great advice!
protein question- use a protein shaker. Its a cup with a net in it that breaks up the clumps when you shake it. costs about $5. It also depends on the type you buy. Cheap protein will not mix well (100% Whey Gold Standard mixes the best, if you ask me. Buy the strawberry flavor, and use milk 
food question- if you’re full you’re full. That’s your brain telling your body “Enough!”, and your brain knows you better than you do.
The stomach is surprisingly small in humans. When people overeat they effectively stretch their stomachs out, and when they eat less the stomach tends to retract a bit. I wouldn’t worry about it.
EDIT: I also agree with Sarah- you should be spacing out your meals, 3-5 small meals per day. Also, it is okay for you to drink protein shakes, but most women go with Soy protein as Whey is designed for heavy muscle gain – your body absorbs nearly all of it to rebuild muscle tissue, so it’s ideal for weightlifters who seek to add mass…but if you’re not doing heavy reps you wont add the same mass. So for you it could be used not as a weight gainer but rather a meal replacement shake.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
