What is a good beginner tofu recipe?

Answer 1

Any tofu recipe (as long as it's well-rated by those who've tried it) should be good... the thing is... you have to use the right kind of tofu! I didn't know this, and thought I hated tofu.

Do not get silken tofu (unless you're making a dessert or something creamy). Get a baked tofu or nigari style tofu. It is much firmer than even the firmest silken tofu. It actually has texture.

I have tried it on kabobs (with veggies). Marinate the tofu in a sauce (bbq, teriyaki, whatever), put on skewers with veggies and grill till browned. I've also tried dipping slices of tofu in cornstarch, then frying in oil (to make a deep-fried style tofu), which is good served over stir-fry with sauce. Just remember... tofu has no flavor to speak of... so you want to marinate it for as long as possible before cooking it.

Answer 3

Cut tofu into 8 slices (lay flat and cut in half, and keep halving the pieces until you have 8). Press out as much water as possible (with a very clean cloth or paper towel). In a shallow baking dish, put 1/4 cup (or less) reduced sodium soy sauce. Place tofu in the dish, then flip after a few minutes. It should soak up all or most of the soy sauce. Pour in some water, enough to cover the bottom of the dish (about 1/4 -1/2 cup, depending on the size of the dish). Sprinkle with freshly minced garlic (1-2 cloves for one block tofu) and spices of your choice (e.g. cayenne, chili, fajita seasoning, etc). Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes and enjoy :)

It's good with a meal or cold on a sandwich.

Tofu fruit smoothies:

one third cake of soft silken tofu
strawberries
banana

in a blender, add tofu, and fruits, blend, then add some milk and honey,blend, add your ice...you can adjust the recipe to your thickness or taste...liced peaches work well, so do the raspberries or blueberries.... yummy.

Answer 7

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU5jA

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
