My sympathies. At least you're not lactose or gluten intolerant.

Only place I enjoy tofu is in Chinese food.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Hot & Sour Soup #1
Categories: Oriental, Soups, Mushrooms, Vegetables, Poultry
     Yield: 4 Servings

     6    Dried Chinese black fungus
     6    Dried wood ear, black,
          - cloud, straw, or shiitake
          - mushrooms, or one bunch
          - of fresh enoki mushrooms
     5    Dried lily buds
     8 oz Can bamboo shoots; drained
     2 tb Red wine vinegar
     1 tb White or rice vinegar
 1 1/2 tb Soy sauce
     1 tb Cornstarch
     4 c  Chicken broth
   1/2    Block firm tofu; in sm cubes
     1 lg Egg; beaten
     1 ts Sesame oil
     3    Scallions, diced
   1/4 ts Salt
 1 1/2 ts Fine ground white pepper
   1/4 ts Chilli oil (opt)
          Cilantro (opt)

 Pour boiling water over the mushrooms until the mushrooms
 are covered and allow them to soak for 20 minutes,
 turning the mushrooms over occasionally. It may not
 seem like a lot but they will grow quite a bit. After
 soaking remove any woody ends with a knife. Cut mushrooms
 into strips. Reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid and mix with
 the cornstarch. (If using fresh enoki mushrooms set aside
 as they do not need to soak).

 Pour boiling water over the lily buds until covered and
 allow to sit for 15 minutes. Cut the buds crosswise then
 tear them up into a few bunches.

 Mix the vinegars and soy sauce together and set aside.
 Open the can of bamboo shoots, drain well, and cut the
 shoots lengthwise into strips.

 Place the chicken broth into a bot and bring to a boil
 over high heat. Add the tofu, mushrooms, lily buds,
 bamboo shoots, vinegar mixture, and cornstarch mixture.
 Mix and bring back to a boil. Once it comes to a boil
 remove from heat. While stirring the soup slowly pour
 the egg into the broth in a small steam while stirring
 the soup allowing the egg to instantly cook and feather
 into the soup.

 Add the scallions, white pepper, sesame oil, and chilli
 oil if using. Taste and adjust white pepper, vinegar,
 and salt to taste. Add cilantro to garnish and for added
 flavour. Serve immediately.

 Serves 4.
