That was the first time I was sick from the day I came here. It was awful, though. I could not do anything at all. I felt like I want to eat a beef meatball, and we decided to went out for beef noodle. The problem was that they gave me a small beef meatball, and it was yucky.

Tofu story

As my friends said, "I might cause the economics is going down because I produce everything like sausage, soy sauce, vinegar, etc." and now I make tofu on my own. Hehehe

Actually, I have not ever thought that I will make tofu. It was when I bought tofu from the stores in Houston. Yuck!!! The tofu became mildewy after a day. I threw them away and tried to buy next time but they were. 

Finally, I tried to make homemade tofu and I struggled to get them. There were a lot of recipes online. But they used many kinds of coagulators that I must buy. I did not want to, so I found the recipes that I could use things which are always available in my kitchen to make coagulators. It was so convenient.

Seitan again

I tried to make seitan again because I love its taste like what I had eaten in my country. After I asked my coworker, her mother makes and sells seitan. I tried to make them with the way she taught me. They were pretty good, but my hub did not like its taste. He loves the chewy one :((

Homemade seitan

I tried to make seitan before by wheat gluten, but I could not stand its smell. It was too strong for me. Besides, I avoided making seitan from bread flour because many websites said that it was very hard to wash the dough. However, I tried to make them today by bread flour. Bingo! It was not as hard as they said. I just washed the dough six times and it was awesome, though. This was the first time that I tried to make pigs intestines seitan (with the hollow inside). They are very popular in my country. We can stir them in many ways.
