Hi Estela
I forgot to mention that the soft silken tofu can be blended and used as a
base for vegan creamy sauces...

Hi Estela
Diced into small cubed miso soup is the usual use with pepper flakes and
wakame seaweed.
Diced into a vegetable stir fry with noodles.
I’ve had a whole silken tofu steamed with bok choy, shitake mushrooms and
oyster sauce that’s nice – the salty oyster sauce flavours the tofu which
is bland.
This looks interesting

I like the soft version, but one needs to be gentle to prevent it breaking
up.
Cheers

Susan, I didn't realize there was so much variety in tofu. The kind I
have, and have bought before, looks like a solid piece of white "farmer
cheese", and is sliceable yet relativey soft.
The few suggestions you wrote, actually give me some ideas. I never
thought of salt as a determining ingredient beyond making things taste
salty, which I dislike. The idea of absorbing flavors seems to be the way
to go. Now I'm looking forward to playing with this stuff.
Call me quirky, it really makes me feel good not to consume mammals.

Hi Estela
Is the tofu the soft/silken type or a harder version?
The softer ones can be steamed (topped with minced meat) or dropped into a
broth/clear soup (with sliced fish and veg).
Great in a Korean style chilli soup too.
I love it done this way for a quick and relatively 'clean' meal.
The harder variety I cube and deep fry and serve as is, with some chilli
sauce on the side.
Shallow frying works too but it gets crisper with a deep fry.
Or we braise it in a seafood or meat gravy. It absorbs all the flavours of
the gravy. But if you do not cook with salt then this won't work so well.

I’ve dabbled with it a little, but not much luck with it…
Mostly just thrown in at last of stir fries…

Hi people. Does anyone have any favorite recipe using tofu? I really
really want to make more use of it, but can't come up with anything
interesting. Tonight I threw some cubed tofu on my green salad...not
horrible, but not very exciting either.
