Answer 6

I looove this but it sounds a little gross, just try it and I think you will like it:

Cut the tofu into finger-sized pieces, then fry them in butter in a pan on the stove. While they are getting golden-brownish, sprinkle some engevita yeast on them, flip them a few times, and serve. It's really quick and tasty.

Answer 7

I love soft tofu with soy sauce, lemon juice, green onion and some grated ginger on top. No cooking necessary!
