There's no end to the enterprising twists cooks give to tofu, intent

on finding tasty new roles for this wonderfully versatile, virtuously

healthy ingredient.

 

" What to do with tofu " is a question confidently posed by someone who

already has the answer. Six answers, actually: That's the number of

recipes food writer Elizabeth Germain has lined up in Body and Soul

magazine's June issue, ranging from stir-fries to desserts.

 

This one, a spicy, crisp tofu salad dish, is a main-course study in

contrasts. It has crunchy and smooth textures, as well as hot and cool

flavors. You create a really crisp and flavorful crust by cooking the

tofu with two Asian grocery-store items: chili sauce and panko, a

flaky bread crumb with a light, coarse texture.
