Following Oprah’s lead, Martha Stewart had an hour-long all-vegan show this week.

Fried Tofu with Some Tang (Recipe + Health Benefits)
I used to eat a lot more tofu (and soy, in general) than I do today. I really don’t eat it that much these days. But I do love a hearty tofu-oriented dish from time to time.
