Tofu recipes

[Flyingby]

I try and eat tofu once or twice a week. But lacking creativity stick to tried and true recipes. Shared my favorite one below
Anybody have any go-to tofu recipes they like?

Ho well for me bying Tofu is buying a piece of nothing

Still I do buy it sometimes. Kids like it. Not knowing what to do with it I often throw some in https://merb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?184957-Greek

It’s also a healthy alternative to meat. I personally enjoy general tao peanut butter fried tofu.

I put Tofu sometimes in Spaghetti tomato basil sauce. Cut in small cube. Kids love it. Me I find the Tofu does not ruin the sauce so it's all good

I think I’m gonna try grilling it this weekend Willis! Like the vid I sent u

I get the firm tofu, slice it up and give it a slow fry in a pan. Mix with veggies and a sauce.

With Tofu IMO it is great to bake natural, throw it into a Thai soup and let it absorb the soup. It is good.

I integrated tofu in my routine during the last year and i like it. One a week in average. I usually cook it in a pan with a bit of oil and Montreal Steak spices. Sometimes i add sesame seeds. If you grill it long enough, it's really tasty. Sometimes i swap the steak spices for Lemon and Herbs spices, but anything you like will do.

Simple and tasty, you can play a little with the spices. I love add old Bay on it.

I used to make teriyaki tofu when I was a teenager. Was really good. You can find many recipes online. I also like to put a slice of tofu in a sandwich or burger it kind of reminds me of cheese, texture-like lol

Well if you are looking for a different style of tofu I use a creative and flavourful option to preparing it.

I use firm or extra firm tofu, then cut it into large cubes. I season or marinate the cubes, with my desired seasoning , then spray a cooking pan with Pam or olive oil.
Put the cubes on the pan, and bake it from 15-22 minutes at 300 degrees , to desired texture.

.​

Make sure to flip the cubes, and add olive or pam to prevent sticking, when needed
I then use the cubes as substitute meat, in version dishes.

I hope you enjoy

it's also good practice to paper towel off the tofu, like we may do for fish, if we are crisping up tofu, or even, flash frying them.

Maybe s.s neo is on to something. No disrespect to those who like tofu , but I find it too bland for my taste . I know that’s the whole point so as to easily absorb any added flavour but still . It is a healthy source of protein though and I’m guessing tofu’s very popular in every vegans or vegetarians diet .
