Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi Mariah, Firstly bravo for your adventuresome spirit! So many people won't try new foods - good for you I don't like frozen tofu - to me it ends up feeling like a sponge. But texture is a big thing with me. I mostly use extra firm tofu, pressed to eliminate water. I don't care for the softer tofus except when making dips or salad dressings or desserts like chocolate mousse. What kinds of sauces do you like, other than soy? Because tofu is wonderful that way --- it absorbs any sauce you put it with. Lately I've been on a curry kick & tofu work great with all the curry sauces I've tried so far. Peace, Diane , Mariah Crites <10mmc wrote: > > i tried a variety of different ways. i tried it with soy sauce, blackening(not exactly sure what it is, but my mom said i should try it), and alot of others. I even put cinimon on one. lol it wasnt my favorite. then i put them all in the george foreman. Oh and before i cooked it i pressed it. i didnt like the ones with soy sauce. thats probably bcuz i dont like soy sauce. any suggestions? i think im goin to put it in the freezer. ive heard that helps give it texture. > mariah > > > > > strayfeather1 <otherbox2001 > > Monday, November 10, 2008 2:11:40 PM > Re: What to do with tofu? > > > One of my favorite really simple ways to eat tofu is to dice it small, > layer it over a large pile of shredded raw spinach and top the whole > pile with some spaghetti sauce or salsa & pop it in the microwave for > 1 minute.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think I have a George Foreman in a box somewhere... how did it work with the tofu? I would worry that it would make it too dry, but maybe not. I'm still experimenting with tofu, too. I'm with you on the soy sauce, not my favorite. I tried a stir fry (made my little apartment smell like onions for two days!), but figured out I really don't care for either stir fry sauce (at least the stuff I got at the grocery store) or for teriyaki. My aunt loves barbecue tofu, I'll have to find her recipe. It's got peanut butter in it, and it's baked. Probably would be a better texture fried first. I need to try it again, because I don't think I did it right the first time. Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 When you find that recipe, please share it! I'm not fond of soy sauce either though I eat it.
