i'm not a vegetarian but like tofu. it's been a long time since I've had it (my hubby is NOT excited to try it)
I bought some firm tofu at the store --
anyone have good recipes?
-
I have cubed tofu, breaded it, and fried it. Its good served with white rice and soy sauce.
I also really enjoy doing sloppy joes with tofu. The trick is to marinate it. :thumbsup:
-
MMMM I love tofu, Google recipes with tofu. I know PETA has on their site recipes with pictures.
-
Grew up on the stuff, still use it.
So damned versatile. And I'm no a vegetarian, but still love the stuff, so that has nothing to do with it.
-
I love tofu especially with soy sauce in a hot summer's day.

When I lived in Taiwan I ate a lot of tofu (or dofu as it's pronounced in Chinese). I liked mapo dofu. Here's a link to the recipe http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes/mapo-doufu-mapo-tofu. They have vegetarian versions also here's one http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/19467/vegetarian-ma-po-tofu
Another tofu dish I loved was douha it's a desert like a soup. In the winter you serve it warm during the summers it's served cold. Here's an easy recipe http://www.ehow.com/how_5043923_make-silken-tofu-ginger-syrup.html. I made it before but it didn't taste as good as the kind I had in Taiwan but it was ok.
The last recipe is also a desert recipe. They also sell the mix in Asian grocery stores. It's called almond tofu it doesn't actually have tofu but it looks like tofu so that's what they call it. Here's a recipe you can make yourself. http://www.healthy-chinese-recipe.com/almond-tofu.html

Tofu simply scares me. I've tried to try it and I just cannot do it. Maybe I'll try to google it and find a recipe I might like.
-
Ooo, I can't have any soy. :angry7:
-
You can try www.allrecipes.com I don't eat it but I get ALL of my recipes from there.

I found this tofu cheesecake recipe and thought it was a great one to try. I like this one because it does not require you to bake! :thumbsup: :P

I had some tofu in those Amy's organic dinners and I really liked it. I haven't had it with anything else though. I'm sure there's lots of good receipes online.
-
I have never tried Tofu and have never wanted to eat the stuff. I am told it can be used in a variety of ways-not sure about that.
-
Never tried it but I am curious about it.

candyterrius...that cheesecake...God bless you ;D I am TOTALLY going after that one.
I am lactose intolerant with a myriad of food allergies. I do use tofu for lots of things. I have seen chocolate tofu once, but haven't found it again in the stores; I do want to give that a go.
here's my next experiment with tofu as a ricotta substitute. I miss lasagna and calzones dreadfully. http://www.food.com/recipe/tofu-lasagna-filling-ricotta-substitute-96935 (http://www.food.com/recipe/tofu-lasagna-filling-ricotta-substitute-96935)

You’re very welcome, karenkpc. :) I’m glad to share the link here for everyone. :heart: Tofu is very versatile. It can be steamed, baked, or make into smoothies. It is very high in calcium and protein and a wonderful substitute for eggs too. :peace:

Everytime my husband buys tofu, It ends up blowing up in the refridgerator, because he never cooks it ontime, that's pretty funny, 'cause I can't stand the stuff! :angry7: :BangHead: :wave:

it has a pretty long time usually before it expires right?
Why does he buy it and not cook it?
