Nice discussion, Andrea. I lean heavily on tofu in my quest to become more plant based and always have some in my 'frig. IMO great stuff!
A question: On a few occasions I've had "sesame tofu" at Japanese restaurants. Wow, so creamy and delicious, but I don't really know what it is -- sesame "milk" mixed with coagulant? Can tofu be made from any nut plus coagulant?

Sesame tofu (gomadofu) is made from finely ground sesame seed, water, and a thickener (not a coagulant). I've only had it at a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant in Kyoto. I've never made it but here's some information and a worthy recipe: https://justhungry.com/goma-dofu-sesame-tofu-not-tofu
In Honolulu, I had peanut tofu so I suppose you could. use peanut butter instead of tahini.
Elizabeth Andoh has a recipe for gomadofu. I canтАЩt remember which book itтАЩs in. SheтАЩs got a traditional recipe and a shortcut one. It is so delicious!
