Protein snacks

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know a good way to cook tofu? When I cook it, it usually comes

out so wet and drippy that I loose all taste for it.

For late night or quick,high protein snacks:

Cooked chickpeas, spiced (chili powder, and/or cumin and/or pepper...)

and eaten straight

Chocolate soy pudding (1 pkt silken tofu, ca. 1/2 cup cocoa powder,

1/2 c honey... blend everything in a food processor or hand blender)

soy nuts

veggies with tofu dip, or chickpea dip, or lentil dip (you can buy these

premade, but I generally make it. Mix together with a food processor

or hand masher lentils (or chickpeas or tofu) with a bit of sesame paste

or (soy) mayonnaise, add some garlic, herbs and spices. For the lentil

pate, tomatoes also go well, for the chickpea pate add lemon juice, for

the tofu one, dilute with soymilk)

Marinated tofu sandwiches (a simple soy, garlic and ginger is wonderful)

chocolate soy milk

Madi:

 

With tofu and being so wet, before preparing it, wrap it up in

papertowel..place a dish on top of it, and then a can (for weight

purposes)..on top of that. This will drain the excess water out of

it so it won't be wet and drippy when you prepare it.

 

Hope that helps your wet and drippy situation..

I have wondered that too, I would love to here some other uses for tofu, so

far i just stick it in the blender with some juice and frozen fruit and one

bannanna and make a shake with it, thats good, but i would like to expand my

diet a little better, i am a lousy cook anyways, but i do wish to eat

healthy, especially since i am exclusively breast feeding my 6 1/2 month old.

We cook tofu almost every day. I have found that if I freeze extra firm tofu,

then thaw in the refrigerator, the texture changes a bit and I like it much

better. I always wrap it in dish towels and press before cooking.

 

We make TLTs. A little Nayo, toasted whole grain bread, tomatoes, lettuce and

tofu sliced and grilled with a little soy sauce, salt and pepper, and fresh

herbs. mmmmmm. It is so fast. Alternatively, I use the same spices and

grilling

technique (or a little sesame oil) with diced tofu and add it to a salad with

fresh greens, mandarin oranges and noodles.

 

Or, mix it with taco seasonings and voila, easy tacos.

Can't you also fry tofu slices and add some liquid

smoke so that is tastes like bacon? And if you can how

much do you add? Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I once came across a recipe for that, and for one pound of sliced extra

firm tofu, it was one teaspoon of liquid smoke and a couple tablespoons of

soy sauce. But it can vary according to the brand of liquid smoke you

use. I'd start with a teaspoon and then add some more if the flavor is not

strong enough for you. You fry the tofu in a pan until it gets nice and

crispy and then you can add some nutritional yeast. Yummy!
