Sweet ‘n Sour Tofu
5 The Tofu doesn’t take sides; it takes flavor from both sweet and sour. The Cook doesn’t take sides she welcomes both salt and spice. The Tofu is like a white t-shirt; it is empty and light yet absorbs sauce. The more you marinate it, the more it tastes; the more you overthink it, the less you enjoy. Hold on to your chopsticks.

The Tao doesn’t take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn’t take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center.
Lao Tzu — Tao te Ching — Translated by Stephen Mitchell
