What are some good things to do with tofu?!


Question: What are some good things to do with tofu!?
I became vegetarian about 3 months ago and was wondering how I can make tofu!. I tried cooking it before and it came out really bland and stuff, so was wondering if anyone had a good recipe!? Thank you!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Do you freeze your tofu!? It gives it a really chewy texture!. You also want to press as much moisture out as possible before cooking it!. Check my profile for tofu tips!.

www!.vegweb!.com has some pretty good recipes!. My fave is a Lemon Tofu with Capers!. I change the cooking instructions slightly to not put in any of the veggies until the very end so they're crunchier!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

tofu has virtually no taste, it tastes like the seasoning that you put in it!. you can make it into a veggie burger by adding spices or fry it and season it or a stir fry!.

onions
peppers
mushrooms
peanuts
cashews
squach
corn
bamboo shoots
water chestnuts
shredded carrotts
snap peas
garlic
ginger
soy sauce
some other type of sauce such as sesame ginger or terryaki
tofu

grill the onion and tofu with a little bit of oil and then add the other veggies!. you can also marrinate the tofu overnight and it will have a great flavor, just prepare the sauce with the tofu, either way it tastes great, LOL! good luck! :D

1 1/2 c!. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 (12oz) packages firm tofu (silk kind- not refrigerated)
1 c sugar
2 tsp instant coffee
4 egg yolks
4 tbsp brandy or coffee liquor (optional)
Melt chocolate, and cool it!. Blend other ingredients (food processor or blender), add cooled but still melted chocolate and blend again!. Freeze in ice cream machine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nothing!. You should be very careful with consuming soy on a frequent basis!. Soy contains a protein that acts as estrogen, and is similar to taking birth control pills!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you haven't already you need to pick up a couple vegetarian cookbooks!. Tofu will take on any flavor you soak it in as long as you press all most all the water out of it beforehand!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eat it plain and put hot sauce on it!. I used to eat that, but got tired of it, but at the time it was good!. Powdered cayenne red pepper is also good with hot sauce on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There's something called analog meats/tofu!.
They are made from vegetable matter to resemble whatever meat you are looking for; ground beef, chicken, etc!.
The ground beef kind makes good burritos and hamburgers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
