Tofu is a block of pressed soybean curd, a protein-rich ingredient for many dishes. It can be eaten as it is, but it shines when cooked into a meal. Each block adds a solid amount of hunger to a pizza, soup, stew, stir fry or pasta dish.
Tofu stays fresh for under a week and rots within two. It is a hard ingredient to find, since it turns up almost only in sushi kitchen fridges. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Eating
Eating a block of tofu lowers hunger by 10. It holds only 30 calories, with 5 grams of protein and a trace of carbohydrates and fat. That makes it filling for its calories, which suits a character trying to lose weight.
Tofu is better hot, so a cooked block gives a small mood lift if eaten soon after cooking. Raw tofu is safe to eat.
Fried Tofu is the stronger relative. It lowers hunger by 15 and holds 35 calories, so it is more filling for the same weight.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
