oops, wrong room. Help moderators!!





being that that consistency and taste very GREATLY depending on how it's prepared, I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Yep, it varies, however there is this one kind of tofu I LOVE with a peanuty dipping sauce. I am blanking on the name.

I'm a vegetarian, and I love tofu- but only if prepared right. It tastes really terrible if it isn't... like college cafeteria tofu... gross...!



I hate tofu make me wanna puke just saying the wordBut then I'm also extremely allergic to soy, milk, wheat, corn, eggs, and fish so I'm sure that's why i get queezy thinking about it



I can't eat it when it's all wiggly-n-jiggly (the way restaurants usually serve it is disgusting). If you cook it right, it takes on whatever flavors you put in. I buy extra firm tofu, drain it really well on paper towels & use it for Tofu Scramble. Adding turmeric makes it yellow + black Indian salt (which is actually pink) mimics the taste of real eggs.
Freezing tofu first, then defrosting it changes the texture completely (it becomes like chicken) - which is great too. I slice & bake it before adding to whatever recipe I'm making - mock chicken tofu, tofu stroganoff, baked bbq tofu, etc.
Then again, there's always seitan, tempeh, gluten, texturized vegetable protein, portabello mushrooms & Tofurkey!

Yes, at restaurants they're gross. I tried making a morning tofu scramble and I guess I didn't cook it long enough, or seasoned it correctly. It was nasty!
I really really wanna learn to love it cuz since I've left meat I see lots of recipes that call for it.
Thanks for the tips Mina!! I will give it another try with extra firm tofu and the correct cooking method. I'm willing to try. I can't be this bad, people eat it all the time!




It's awesome fried, but not so healthy. I make a fried tofu stirfy by shaking the cut tofu up in a bag with a little cornstarch and then frying it in coconut oil. You have to cook it for a long time though, until it sounds hollow when you tap on it, otherwise it gets soggy.
We only eat it once or twice a year, and usually with an orange sauce. It's very good, even my parents like it and they despise tofu.
I make yummy baked tofu. All you have to do is use the extra firm kind, press all the water out, then soak it in soy sauce. I cover it in seasme seeds and bake it until its chewy.

^^ I make a similar Korean-style tofu by adding sesame oil, minced garlic, thinly sliced green onions, sugar & red pepper flakes to the soy sauce and marinade. After broiling I sprinkle w/roasted sesame seeds & serve with hot rice.
Omit the sesame oil, red pepper flakes & sesame seeds, then add finely grated fresh ginger & you've got teriyaki sauce!



For tofu scramble, the trick is to cook the tofu by itself FIRST. This will dry it up a bit.
Get your extra firm tofu, drain the water, lay out a few paper towels, crumble the tofu ontop, cover w/a few more paper towels & press the water out. Set a large frying pan on high heat, give it a spritz of butter flavored Pam, then add the tofu crumbles. Saute to evaporate any excess moisture, and until it's cooked to your liking.
Now lower the heat to medium & add the seasonings (recipe link in my previous post), but if it calls for veggies (onion, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.) - saute those in a SEPARATE pan, because they'll release their juices & make your tofu slimy all over again! You can add them to the tofu once they're cooked.
Remember: tofu takes on whatever flavors you add to it, so when you're making, say, a tofu scramble, just season the tofu the way you season your eggs (you can even do mock eggs Benedict!)
p.s. I've posted a few other tofu recipes - mock egg McMuffins, mock egg salad, etc. in other threads. Just do a search.
^^^ wow, thank you!!
