Answer 2

agency (from the refrigerator section, under no circumstances off the shelf) is excellent. First you need to press it. that is the most important step in any tofu recipe. Slice your tofu kind of one million-2 in. thick. position between 2 sparkling towels, & positioned some thing heavy (a e book) on correct. enable set until eventually the water in out. For a meaty texture you may freeze tofu, then thaw beforehand cooking. try after freezing/thawing: -Marinating in bar-b-q & grilling, correct w/cheese. that is your new, more suitable burger. (you may bake this, too.) -Marinating in soy sauce, practice dinner w/stir fried vegetables. Serve w/noodles. -Marinating in Italian dressing. Pan fry. devour in a huge salad. -Bread in tempera batter, fry with pineapples.

Answer 3

As an appetizer, we deep fry triangles of tofu, and dip in a mixture of oil, scallions, soy sauce and some pickled jalapenos that are mixed and heated to almost a boil. We also cube it and put it in stir fry. I loved the idea about adding it to eggs. That sounds great.
