I think you just substitute meat with tofu. I would assume you use the same amounts, but I don't know that for sure. I also know it is cut up and put in fresh salads.

I would have loved to help but I know nothing about cooking. What is tofu? I am glad not everyone is like me, luckely you got some good responses from the good cooks out there. Good luck with your new cooking venture. Let us know how it tasted and if it is worth it.

great
