Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi all, Today I went to the Raisin Rack and tried a couple different kinds of tofu and YaHooooooooooo, I liked it this time. I tried it at Wild Oats and not good at all. My question is how do you fix it as good as they fixed. I talked to them and got a few hints but not much. They use extra firm and bake it with putting the flavoring on before they bake, but.... what do you put on it? One was tomato something and the other was sweet & something. Thanks Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Also look in the breakfast recipe folder, appetizers and the casseroles. In the condiments recipe folder is a wonderful recipe for Marvi-whip vegan mayonaise. A couple of weeks ago, I posted a Tofu Walnut patties & burgers. It is delicious!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Cook_Tofu_Like_the_Pros I had this page recommended to me. I am not that big a fan of tofu. My 2 year old likes to eat it cold, no flavoring, and crumbled, so me cooking it is a rare occasion. Therefore.... I haven't looked at this site (my point after that long explanation). I hope you find some you enjoy. Cassie --- On Wed, 10/15/08, Bev <bdowns45681 wrote: Bev <bdowns45681 Tofu?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I use a simple approach you might enjoy. Using 2 plates gently remove as much liquid from firm tofu as possible (sandwich the tofu between the plates), this will take about 20 minutes drain frequently. After simply place in a container of your favorite marinade, I have used French dressing, Teriyaki, Hosein sauce, Italian dressing, etc. Marinade can absorb for 20 minutes minimum to over night. Then place in a open baking dish into a 350 degree oven and bake for 15 minutes. Alternately you can fry, grill or simply enjoy as is. The draining is key since it adds firmness and allows the new liquid to absorb into the tofu for full rich flavor. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 What a great website, Cassie. Whenever I have used tofu it comes out tasteless and mushy! The dry way of cooking is a must try. As for the marinade....looks good with AJ's BBQ sauce that he posted recently. Thanks. sue Cassie Dixon wrote: > > > http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Cook_Tofu_Like_the_Pros > <http://hubpages.com/hub/How_to_Cook_Tofu_Like_the_Pros> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks so much, I've never had ANY experience with Tofu before. so, do you squeeze the plates together or just let them lay there?
