What to do with Tofu

Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard of Tofu, a Japanese soybean curd. It's a low-fat protein alternative, and guess what? It's not just for vegetarians. I for one eat it all the time.

But unless you've been cooking with tofu for a while, you might be at a loss for what to do with it. Here are some suggestions from Glee Magazine:
  • Firm tofu is mostly used in stirfrys. I also use it ground beef substitute in recipes like pasta sauce, and when I'm craving fried chicken, I'll sometimes bread it with some spices and fry it. It's delicious!
  • Soft tofu is good in soups and in dips
  • Silken tofu has a custard-like texture and is a great dairy-free dessert alternative
  • Baked Tofu is marinated with a variety of flavours and is great in sandwiches.
The thing to remember with Tofu is that it's very versatile -- it doesn't have much flavour so it it easily picks up other flavours.
