Mmmm... just had the Tom Yam soup, with ingredients I added, such as broccoli and a carrot, green onions, and sambal oelek. (The frozen soup is good to go after 5 minutes in the microwave.) Have shopped at TJ's for decades now, in several states. In fact, one of the first things I look for when I travel is any Trader Joe's locations! Couldn't live without TJ's, I'm sure! I rely on the glass jar of red salsa... and enjoy the reactions of skeptical friends when I introduce them to its amazing goodness, especially the ones who make their own salsas. Oh, and I concur with the person (was it Shel_B?) who recommended the rice medley. Fantastic stuff, really! Many folks don't care for tofu... but I bet it's because you haven't had it by way of Trader Joe's High Protein Organic Super Firm Tofu, available in a 16 oz. block from the refrigerated section. I generally do freeze it first, as I believe that that makes it even firmer, but then when it's thawed, I press it using a flat-bottomed colander that sits atop a saucepan, the tofu weighted down with a square glass container on top, and a weight on top of that. Once drained as much as it can be, it's ready for marinating or cooking with a variety of flavors. I love tofu's blandness for that reason. And although I've tried tofu from many different sources, and different kinds of tofu, nothing compares to the TJ one-pound blocks! Try cubes of this tofu in your next Asian Stir-Fry... super firm and tasty nuggets, I assure you! :-)
