I'm not crazy about tofu.They say it should take on the flavor for whatever you're cooking, but I'm not to sure on that. I've seen a few ways of making it though, I don't know the recipes but you could use your own ideas for these ways of cooking it. you could try breading it, then deep fry it and put it in a sweet -n- sour vegetable stir fry. Oriental style fried rice with egg. Thai wrap with peanut sauce, cilantro, red onion, carrots and rice. or how about a baked portabella mushroom with spinach, couscous and tomatoes with garlic and olive oil.(I've made this without tofu and added feta cheese and it was delicious.) There are so many ways to use it. experiment and I'm sure you'll find lots of ways to enjoy it.
Coupla of my faves: tofu and veg curry for hard tofu. fruit smoothies for silken tofu (gives ya a nice bit a protein and makes it creamy like a shake). Yummy. Enjoy.
Barbecue Tofu Sandwiches

DIRECTIONS


Drain the tofu between paper towels until most of the water has been squeezed out.
