Anyone have some good tofu recipes?

Me and my boyfriend recently became vegetarians, and I like tofu, im just not sure what to do with it. I know i can make stir frys and I really like that, but my bf won't eat stir fry. I would like to know some other really good foods to make with tofu.Anyone have some good tofu recipes?
Use it in place of cheese.


For instance, manicotti. Break up firm tofu and season with fresh basil, salt and pepper, stuff them into cooked shells, top with tomato sauce and shredded (vegan) mozzarella and bake until hot.


Find a good recipe for spinach and artichoke dip, and use soft tofu in place of cheese.





If you have a deep fryer, you can cube up extra firm tofu, fry it and use it in a stir fry, or as sweet and sour tofu, or general tso's tofu.





You can cut it into sticks and bread it and fry it and it tastes a lot like cheese sticks.





You can crumble it up and add it to chili in place of whatever meat you normally use.





Tofu takes on whatever flavor you mix it with, so it's extremely versatile. Oh, and if you freeze it and defrost it, you change the texture the completely and come up with something more ';chicken'; like in texture.





Have fun with it!Anyone have some good tofu recipes?
