Tofu Noob!?

Question

My friend is trying to get me to eat healithier,and with that,shes trying to get me to eat Japanese style food(not Teriyaki,REAL Japanese food).And so,she wants me to eat more Tofu.But plain tofu is spongey and tastes really funny.So,what can i put on Tofu to make to taste a little better?(I like peanut sauce,and chili sauce,will that work?)Some good recipies would be great!Or just some plain suggestions!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Except the Japanese Tofu (you can just steam it and serve with floss meat & soy sauce), how about chinese tofu? I got one tofu soup recipe in chinese style with natural sweet & sour taste, you gonna love it.

tofu x up to u
tomato x 2 (you can add more if you like sour)
potato x 2 (peel off skin)
onion x 1 (peel off skin)
red carrot x 1 (peel off skin)
Pork or chicken meat x up to u ( with bone or boneless is up to you too)

Fill a big pot with water, chop all the ingredients into cubes and add in the big pot, bring to boil. When it's boiled, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours until all the ingredients are soft except the meat. Remember to add some salt just before serve.

I'd tried to cook this soup without putting any meat when I was on diet, and I found it taste good too.

Have a nice day.

Answer 2

any recipe that uses meat u can sub tofu. so any kind of stir fry. just use the sauces u love, or they have really great sauces and stuff out now u can add. they taste great and are no work!! just look with all the other condiment stuff.....bbq sauces, marinades, etc. u can also use tofu in baking!!!!! i dont have any recipes, but i know tofu is a very versitle product. u can use it in milkshakes and just add chocolate sauce to sweeten it up. but as for using it in cooking......i'd just use it instead of meat. try a tofu lasagna!!

decrease priced & difficulty-free yet solid, right here you flow. Slice a cube of better organisation tofu into VERY skinny slices. place on non-stick (or Pam sprayed) cooking sheet. Drizzle soy sauce, onion & garlic pwdrs. or any seasonings you opt to style. cook dinner till brown & activate different section. cook dinner till tofu is organisation yet not difficult. it is somewhat solid finger nutrition yet could be served with a meal..
