Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Andy and I have experimented with ways to make tofu taste more like meat. We usually do the first step - boil, drain, marinate,and then saute. But he is very excited about the results of this. I am just sending the recipe as he wrote it to me....It may seem like a lot of work, but if you like it you could do several packages of tofu at once..... Enjoy. Kristi in Ohio Andy's Boiled & Baked Tofu Supreme Buy a package of firm tofu and put it in a freezer. When it is an ice block, or later at your convenience, boil a pot of water. When the water boils, put the tofu in the boiling water. Check it with a knife, try to poke through the center. If you can do this easily then you are ready for the next stage. Usually this takes 15-25 minutes. Preheat your oven for 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Drain your tofu in a colander. Then place the pot you used to boil the tofu on top of the tofu in the colander. Put 3-5 heavy soup cans in the pot. This weight will drain the water and condense the tofu. Wait a good 10-15 minutes or so for the oven to preheat and the tofu to compress. Inject some marinade into the tofu. Some soy sauce or brags liquid aminos works well. Take care with the quantity and distribution of the marinade into the tofu. N.B. Tofu has no salt or taste so you need to provide all of this via the marinade injection. Grease a pan with some of your favorite vegetable oil. Lightly coat the tofu with a little vegetable oil. Bake for 20 minutes, flip tofu. Flip twice more at 10 minute or so intervals. Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy. Cut it up for a nice tofu burger.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Kristi~I like the removing of the water process. Baked tofu id very good, I have some to use up and this doesn't call for many ingredients.
