Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've heard from various sources that you can marinate tofu. That's not too big a surprise since I am also told that tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. I wanna know how you'd go about making marinated tofu, how you would serve it, and with what you would serve it. Do you cube it up, drizzle some BBQ sauce (or Tequila Lime marinade, or what have you) over it and let it sit for a while, then throw it in with stir fry? Do you slice it, marinade it, then serve it with a side of seasoned rice and some steamed veggies? (that sounds kinda good, actually) I'm just all kind of confused but I want to try it since I've never really cooked with Tofu and I want to try new options for meal planning. If anyone can help me, you guys can! Thanks a million. --icarus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Oh, yum yum yum yum, Icarus! There are LOTS of recipes for this, but the one I have been using for YEARS is from the Greens cookbook by Deborah Madison. It's a 4th of July tradition! You have to drain the tofu for awhile. You take a block of firm tofu and place it on a cutting board. Lift one end of the board up an inch or two (stick something under it to hold it in place) and tilt the other end towards the sink. Place another cutting board (or a cookie sheet) on top and place some heavy cans on that. After 30 minutes or so (can be more), it is drained. Meanwhile, make the marinade. (I'll have to look up the recipe.) Cut the tofu into cubes (a bit more than an inch in size) and place them in a bowl with the marinade. Refrigerate for a day or two. (Can be more.) Then, you skewer those puppies along with some veggies (it's a kebab), brush them with marinade #2 (again, I have to look it up) and place them on the grill. HEAVEN!!!! I suggest you make up TWO blocks of tofu, this is so good. Gee, wish I still had a grill! Sharon icarus_imbued wrote: > I've heard from various sources that you can marinate tofu.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I've never been successful with Tofu but this sounded good and better yet....with clear instructions on what to do with tofu. I might try this one. Thanks. - Bonni Sharon Zakhour <sharon.zakhour wrote: Oh, yum yum yum yum, Icarus!
