Listen Hala, I am not after the 10 points, but you have to try this!

Take your 1 pound block of tofu (firm or even better extra firm) and cut it in thin (1/3 inch) slices, and put in a zip lock with enough tamari or soy sauce to marinate well!. Freeze this over night and pull out!. Freezing tofu opens up the "pores" so that it will take more of the flavor of the marinate!.

Then, mix a tablespoon of nutritional yeast with a little of the marinade so that it is kind of thick and sticky!. Dip tofu cutlets
in this mixture and then drop into dry nutritional yeast with a little garlic and onion powder to "bread" it with this mixture!.

Pan fry on both sides in grape seed or other healthy high heat oil till golden brown!.

Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, with vegan mashed potatoes (or vegetarian with milk and butter if you roll like that) and skillet sauted corn or green beans or whatever!.!.!. this is my fav "country fried tofu" recipe!.

This sh!t is the bomb!

If you do this or want other tofu recipes email me, I have muchos!

My favorite would be fish fillet with tofu in black bean sauce over white rice!. Of course you won't use fish but maybe it works without it too!. Never tried it like that before though!.

lightly saute minced garlic and sliced onions
add to fried firm tofu
add canned fermented black beans
you can add vegetables of choice
stir fry until done
if desired, thicken with some corn or tapioca starch tapioca dissolved in bit of water
pour over steamed rice


I did not put proportions and amounts because it's all really up to your own taste preference!. And when I make this for myself, I dont measure anything!. Fermented black beans are already salty so go easy on the salt!.

Or for soft tofu,

slice into rounds and simply dust with pankuo breadcrumbs and deep fry until golden brown!.!.
use soy sauce with vegan sweetener and ginger
or vegan teriyaki sauce (or something similar) and eat with streamed white rice!. As usual, you can complement with veggies of choiceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Marinate your tofu in a sweet chilli sauce(quite spicy and not for weeds!) then fry with garlic and grated ginger!. Leave to cool and fill a bowl(deep soup/cereal bowl) with watercress, sugarsnap peas, chopped spring onion, cooked and cooled butterbeans(or a tin) soya beans, chopped tomatoes,baby sweetcorn or tinned, cashew nuts, and finish with fresh coriander and top with the tofu and add a splash more of sweet chilli sauce! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

BBQ Tofu
This is the best tasting tofu I have had!.
slice tofu into 8 pieces
mix 1/2 c!. vegetable oil with 2Tbs!. creamy peanut butter 3tsp!. KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce
Pour over tofu and bake at 450 for 7 min then flip and bake 5 min more!.
Remove from oven and turn oven down to 325!.
Mix 2 c!. KC BBQ with 2tsp peanut butter!. cover 1 side with sauce and bake 30 min flip cover other side with remaining sauce bake 30 min more!.
This tofu is better eaten cold
great on a bun with lettuce
hard to make enough ofWww@FoodAQ@Com

My favorite recipie isn't the healthiest, but it's yummy!.

Fry in a pan for a bit, however you typically fry it!. I usually use a little bit of olive oil!. Then, when you're about done, dump a bunch of brown suggar on it and wait until the suggar has that melted but still firm-enough look!. Enjoy ^_^!.

EDIT:
yanchagurl, that sounds awesome!. I'll have to try that later!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I second the peanut sauce idea!.
also, I like to get a marinade (that was made for meat), slice the tofu into slices and then marinate for about 10 minutes at least!.!. then sprinkles with paprika and bake!.

Another thing I do is cube the tofu and use shake 'n bake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i like to cube them, and just drizzle a little chili oil, soy sauce and chopped green onions over them!.

but you can always buy packaged udon (japanese soup noodles) and add the tofu along with some spinach, and sliced boiled eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Fried tofu with soy sauce or peanut sauce!
All you need is some kind of oil, preferably vegetable oil, and flour!.
Dip the tofu in the flour and fry it till its light brown, then dip it in soy sauce or peanut sauce, its so good!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Stir-fried tofu with vegetables (carrots, broccoli and mushrooms) sauteed with soy sauce!. Really simple and really good!.
@->-->-Www@FoodAQ@Com

maybe the crispy tofu will do!.!.!. it makes it more chewy, add some soy sauce, and add vegetables to have it more nutritiously and more taste to eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My favorite tofu recipe is this one made with spinach,healthy tasty and low fat!.

I don't have a tofu recipe but i will say i have eaten tofu before & it is pretty good!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I only had tofu hot dogs and they're delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Feeling lazy about food, so I'll say marinate and bake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Pour some black soy sauce, cut chillies and sesame oil on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
