Has anyone got any tasty tofu recipes please?

im sure there are loads to be found on line but id like to know your own favouritesHas anyone got any tasty tofu recipes please?
I like to make tofu-katsu... the tofu version of the Japanese Tonkatsu (usually make with pork).





First you drain some firm (preferably fresh) tofu, cut it into cubes and then roll in flour. Then roll again in a bowl of soymilk or egg substitute and then again in panko (Japanese breadcrumbs). Then deep fry them until brown and serve with bulldog sauce (that's just a name by the way... it's actually made of fruit and veg!)





Or I make a Japanese style casserole with a mixture of conbu/seaweed stock, miso paste, mirin and soy sauce. I pour this over various veg and tofu in a casserole dish and put in the oven.





Tonight I made a creamy pasta sauce with silk tofu... just blend together tofu, parsley, basil, salt, garlic and soymilk to thin. Heat in a pan with some mushrooms and spinach and pour over pasta.





Lots of people don't like tofu but it's my favourite food... it's so versatile and does wonders for your health. And those that say it has no taste obviously haven't tried good tofu. There are so many different types in Japan... it's just that here in the west, good tofu is hard to come by.Has anyone got any tasty tofu recipes please?

I marinade slices of extra firm tofu in soy sauce and then fry it in a bit of olive oil. I put that over brown rice and put a bit of chilli sauce on it. Very hot and spicy, add a sid of veggies and you're all set.
Very Easy %26amp; Yummy, my 11 year old makes this:





Sweet Garlic Tofu





Cut up firm tofu into cubes and brown in a small amount of olive oil. Once browned, add 1 or 2 garlic cloves, chopped fine and brown for a couple more minutes. Then, add 1/4 cup of organic brown sugar and stir well. The sugar melts and carmelizes with the tofu.





That's all. Very simple and Oh So Yummy!
