tofu is soy bean curd. it is made with magnesium or calcium for a coagulant, and is used in Asian dishes and in fruit drinks. It can be firm, soft or silky, and takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. High in protein, low in sodium and cholesterol tastes bland if eaten by itself.

Soy bean curd, usually used as a meat substitute because of it's high level of protein. It comes in different forms. I'm guessing you're not vegetarian, and most meat eaters don't like tofu, but give it a shot. Most people say its bland, but you can flavor it any way you want. It's like a flavor sponge, it absorbs the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. Cook it with chicken, soy sauce and veggies in a stir fry and it'll taste like chicken and veggie stir fry.

Soy bean made into curds and pressed into the shape of a small loaf. It's delicious plain with soy sauce or used in other stir fry dishes. It is also used to replace meat...such as tofurky etc.
