Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Congratulations for appreciating Tofu. It is actually made like the method of making cheese but from Soy milk.It has the entire nutritional qualities of the entire Soya including protein(HDP) and the Soya oil. The taste is bland like Soya. We can add anything to it like you have already done. --- On Tue, 6/10/09, Mary <tylin10 wrote: Mary <tylin10 Making Peace With Tofu Tuesday, 6 October, 2009, 5:54 AM Finally, I've come to enjoy tofu. First I bought some for the miso soup because my granddaughter loves it. I had half a block left over, all pressed and ready to go. A marinade of teriyaki sauce, a quick fry in hot oil, served over a bed of leftover rice and broccoli laced with soy sauce, made a delicious meal. Hey, this stuff can be good! I guess I'll try some other ways now that I'm over the hump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I love making fried rice with tofu. I put some sesame oil in my wok with tons of chopped ginger, add the cubed tofu and cook a bit, then add about 2 cups of wild rice medley followed by chopped baby bok choy, peas and carrots and anything else I have and finish it off with some Bragg's amino acids, aka soy sauce. Food of the Gods and easy as pie to make I'm learning to use tofu as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 LOL. I'm glad you have made your peace with it. It's great stuff if prepared well. Marinating is where it's at. Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yes, it can be frozen and kept. Japanese, Chinese and South East Asians use it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yes, you can freeze tofu. It actually changes the texture somewhat. A google search will probably give you lot of information. There is a whole section on freezing tofu in Vegan with a Vengence (and other cook boos too I'm sure). It's worth a try! Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 If you have a chance to try dishes in a restaurant with tofu, go for it! The first time I tried tempeh was as take out - I had never heard of it but went back to ask what it was was once I had tasted it!

That's a good point. I would never have persisted using it at home if I hadn't had the experience of enjoying it at a restaurant first. It was clear that my preparation methods and not the tofu itself were at fault. LIke anything, learning to prepare tofu takes technique, acquired by trial and error sometimes.
