Yummy recipes that include tofu?

I just learned how to cook tofu.. well, one way... saute it in cooking spray and then mix w/ spaghetti sauce over whole wheat pasta.. and I'm hooked. any other good ways to make it?Yummy recipes that include tofu?
Tofu is super versatile... it can be used in many different ways. My favorite way is to let it drain and cube it then put it in a hot cast iron skillet with a tiny bit ( 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of olive oil and pan fry it. I like to then eat it with low sodium soy sauce and chopped green onion. So yummy!





On a personal level... I don't use cooking spray... I don't like chemical crud on my food (also the reason I opt for cast iron and not teflon coated non-stick pans) and a little healthy fat is good for you... and necessary!





Tofu is great in a veggie stir fry served over brown rice as well.





I use it to make ';creamy'; mashed potatoes. Just toss some in while you are mashing your potatoes... add a little bit of veggie stock, salt, and pepper. Yummy!





The options are endless... vegweb.com is a great recipe resource! Good luck and have fun!Yummy recipes that include tofu?

broiled-tofu recipe





Broiled Tofu from Student's Vegetarian Cookbook by Carole Raymond (I use


this recipe when I'm in a hurry and don't want to turn on the oven)





1 block (12 oz.) extra-firm or firm Chinese tofu (in water)


Prepared Hoisin sauce or Marinade





MARINADE


3 Tbs. balsamic vinegar


3 Tbs. soy sauce


2 tsp. catsup





1. To press the tofu, sandwich the tofu between two plates. Weigh the top


plate with a heavy book, and press for 30 minutes. Remove the weight and


top plate, and empty the water from the bottom plate. The tofu is now


ready.


2. Preheat the broiler. Slice the pressed tofu into thirds lengthwise.


Place the tofu on a lightly oiled baking sheet and spread the tofu with the


marinade.


3. Broil the tofu 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each


side, until browned and crisp on the edges. Serve it straight from the oven


or make a tofu sandwich on toasted multigrain bread topped with your


favorite condiments. Makes 2 servings.





portobello-tempeh-marinade recipe








Portobello Tempeh Marinade





4-6 portobello mushrooms, cut in half and then sliced


1 block of tempeh, cut into strips the size of the mushroom strips





marinade was approximate, but I am pretty sure this was it:


1/2 cup soy sauce, low sodium, if prefered


1/2 cup rice vinegar


3 tbsp. vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, or to taste


3 tbsp. orange juice, or to taste


garlic powder or fresh garlic, to taste


fennel to taste





I used this as my base and then continued to add whatever seemed


savory and good in this, a little more vinegar, and litle more juice %26amp;


spices. Also, I added water to thin it. I let the mushrooms and the


tempeh marinade in this mixture for a day and continued to let it


marinade for the rest of the week. Then, I would put a sandwich sized


portion in a non-stick pan and heat it until everything gets warm and


the mushrooms and tempeh brown.

I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned a good recipe that includes tofu doesn't exist... sorry... I can't eat it... it's too much like trying to cook with kindergarten paste.
Only thing tofu is good for is ballistics tests because it approximates the consistency of flesh. And you eat that stuff? BLEH!
