Tofu alone has virtually NO taste!. If you like the flavor of Teriyaki, then marinade it in that and saute with veggies, or fry it, or grill it, you can even bake it!. Basically tofu absorbs the flavors of what marinades or seasoning you put on it!. Then it tastes wonderful!.!.!.in my opinion that is!. The first time I served my children tofu this is what I made and they loved it so much they beg for it!. lol!
A block of firm or extra firm tofu, sliced about 3/4 inch thick
1 or two lightly beaten egg whites (depending on how much you need)
About 3/4 cup of plain bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs mixed with a tsp of marjoram, and about 4 to 5 Tablsp of fresh grated parmasen or asiago cheese!. A little salt and pepper if desired!.
Take the block of tofu out of the container and put on top of a thick pile of paper towels, place another thick layer on top of it and keep pressing to get a majority of water out!. You may have to repeat this!.
Slice them and dip in the egg white and then press into the bread crumb mixture!. You are then going to lightly fry them!.!.!.the original recipe called for using Pam or some kind of cooking spray in the pan!.!.!.I like a little crispy on the crust so I use a little olive oil or safflower oil!. Lightly brown each side and set on an oven proof plate or pan!.!.!.keep warm in a very low heat oven!. While they are staying warm mix together!.!.!. a cup of mayo (a good kind like Helman's!.!.NOT the sweet type like miracle whip), About 1 heaping or 2 Tablespoons of fine chopped garlic!.!.depends on your taste so you can add or subract the amount you like and about 2 Tblsp of soy sauce!. I lost the actual recipe years ago so I just adjust to MY liking and of course you can do the same!. Mix it all up!.!.!.oh, I should have stated to make the sauce first and cover and put in the fridge so the flavors can marinate, then cook the tofu!.
Anyhow!.!.!.!.You can eat the tofu with side veggies and the sauce on the side for dipping as we sometimes do but it make an incredible sandwich on your favorite buns! Just spread the bun with the sauce, put on a slab of tofu, tomato slice and a leaf of whatever lettuce you like! All 5 of us find them addictive! If you try this I truly hope you enjoy it!!! Since then my kids love tofu!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu is great because it takes on the taste of whatever you prepare it in, and it comes in a ton of different consistencies!. I recommend trying extra firm tofu either marinated in BBQ sauce or steak sauce and grilled with veggies or stir-fried asian-style with teriaki sauce!. It's so good when it's made right, but don't try eating it raw first!. It's really bland!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's relatively flavorless right out of the package!. Sometimes it has a very light beany flavor or smell!.
Tofu really should be marinated or cooked with oils, sauces, and condiments for maximum flavor!.
Of course, like someone above said, it takes on the flavors of the other things you cook it with so if you let it sit in a curry marinade, you'll get Curry flavored tofu!. If you cook it with soy sauce, you'll get a salty asian flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu doesn't taste of anything, it's well, tasteless!. It takes on the flavor and taste of whatever you cook it with!. Meaning if you cook it with chilli then it will taste like chilli or if you cook it with garlic it'll taste like garlic!

It has no flavor!. It does, however, have potential!.
Soft or silken tofu, when blended with other ingredients, can be used to create a variety of scrumptious smoothies, creamed soups and desserts with fewer calories and less cholesterol than milk-based recipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tofu doesn't taste like anything really and that's the great part about it! It's what you add to it that makes the taste!. So go online and find a marinade for tofu that sounds really good to you and try that out on a grill pan!. Once you get to know how to cook tofu, there really is no limitations on what you can do with it!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Tofu has no flavor, which makes it so versatile!. So whatever you cook with it, that's the flavor it will have!.
Most people are worried about the texture of tofu, not the taste!. If you get the Chinese style tofu (the water-packed kind), make sure you freeze it for at least 24 hours to give it a chewier texture!. See my profile for tips!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
