Anyone know the perfect way to make tofu?

Question

Here's what I've tried so far:
(using extra firm)
--frying cubes--so far my favorite, but I feel like I'm adding so much fat.
--baking
--squeezing for hours
--freezing first, then cubing
--scattering like ground beef (seems too much like scrambled eggs)

I've tried it in variuos dishes (stir-fries, wraps, fajitas, pasta dishes...)
Am I missing something? I am OK with the above, but I want more out of the tofu experience....help if you can.

Answer 1

My favorite way to eat tofu is in Thai curry. Just stir fry your favorite veggies and cubed tofu, add a can of coconut cream and thai red curry (powder or paste) until the spice is as you like it. (Tofu can be added at the end, if you prefer your tofu softer.) Serve over rice.

Answer 2

If you fry it with a little soybean sauce and salt on a nonstick pan, you won't use so much fat, and you'll add a little flavor. I think it's best with a stir fry, but many people use cooked tofu as an ingredient in their lettuce salads.

Answer 3

After lightly frying tofu cubes in little oil, you can add it to a stir fry of crushed garlic, finely chopped onions and green chillies, and 2 cups of bean sprouts. Season with salt and feshly ground pepper. Tastes delicious, serve hot with steamed rice.

You could also try stir frying it with capsicum, spring onions and green chillies, or slices of mandarin orange and juliennes of ginger. :)
