Just large chunks of steamed tofu floating in the soup. For some reason (I guess because the tofu soaks up the soup), it's delicious.
I, too, find it hilarious that our vegan buddy warns against alcohol's estrogenic effects but promotes soy.

I've had tom ka before but never tried tofu pad thai (although I do love pad thai). I wasn't a fan of the tom ka, however.
I've never heard of tempeh and seitan before. I'll keep an eye out for it.
