Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Okay, so I got some of this marinated tofu (tomato basil). What can I do with it? The package says to microwave it and eat it right out of the package, but that doesn't really appeal to me. Can you cook it in a skillet, or will that sacrifice the flavor? How else would you prepare it? Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Wish I could help - have never used it - and tomato basil seems kinda Italian flavouring to me and I tend to use tofu mostly for asian dishes - stir fries etc. It sounds as if it would make a great stir fry ;=) Now who was it on this list who said that they used these marinated tofus all the time?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Never heard of that type - are you in the US? Can't see why you couldn't cook it in a skillet, tho I'd give it a go as they suggest too... Sorry - just realised that's not much help!

LOL They also suggest eating it over pasta (or rice), so I guess that's an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else > would you prepare it? I usually put it in stir fry, but I'm sure there's plenty of other uses for it. I've used Thai peanut flavor, which would be good in pad thai. The tomato basil sounds like it would be good in bean and rice dishes. You could probably even crumble it onto salad. The other ideas suggested {putting it in pasta sauce, lasagna, ect} all sound good, too. ~Helyn Highwater Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I marinated my tofu in lots of stuff. It really depends on what I am putting the tofu in. My favorite is just soy sauce mixed with a little hot mustard and seamen seeds and then I bake it and make sandwiches. For: Lasagna I use basil and garlic overnight in soft tofu to make 'ricotta' cheese to add BBQ sauce for the grill or the soy sauce mix above Over the counter marinates (be careful and read the labels........some have beef broth or such) and add to stir fry The main reason I would marinated my tofu is to give it more flavor and therefore more flavor for my dish. Just take your favorite flavor and and it in soy sauce or water and let sit up to over night. I love to add hot mustard to it so my stir fry has a little bite to it. Renee PS. I know I must be the only one in the world that has not had curry before but can someone tell me what favor it has. We just got a new Indian restaurant in town and I would love to try in but I have know idea if I would like curry.veggiehound <veggiehound wrote: Wish I could help - have never used it - and tomato basil seems kinda Italian flavouring to me and I tend to use tofu mostly for asian dishes - stir fries etc. It sounds as if it would make a great stir fry ;=)Now who was it on this list who said that they used these marinated tofus all the time?

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 But is it pre-sauced? It'd be pretty dry over rice or past otherwise . . . pat > > > Yes. The brand is Soga. Pre-diced!

I didn't like curry the first time I tried it, but my MIL made a dish (no it wasn't veg but I wasn't veg then) that I really liked. It can be a strong flavor, even if it isn't spicy, so I'd say go easy when you first try it. Have a dish with some rice or maybe noodles. I enjoy it, but I can't eat a lot at a time. I'm just satisfied with small doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I finally got around to eating this stuff. I didn't mix it with anything - just ate it out of the package. Pretty good! And one of their plants is right here in Orange County (about 20 miles from me). Here's their site, btw: http://www.sogafarm.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
