Answer 2

I like to throw some firm tofu into a stir fry dish. Just buy a bag of fresh stir fry veggies and start sauteing them - once they've softened a bit, add your teriyaki or soy sauce (whichever you prefer) and throw in the firm tofu cut into cubes. Let the tofu soak up the veggie and soy flavors for a few more minutes then serve it all over rice and top with some sesame seeds.
So easy and tasty.

Answer 3

BBQ TOFU
Chop an onion, fry it olive oil (just a little olive oil). Add the BBQ sauce to the onions and then cut the tofu and add it(extra firm tofu). Mix the tofu with the onions, and viola! You can make sandwiches or eat it with rice.

TOFU SAUTE
Chop carrots, onions, peppers and any other vegetable you like. Fry some extra firm tofu and when it's golden brown, put it in a plate. In the same oil (remember, not too much oil) add the vegetables, soy sauce and then the tofu you cooked before. Serve with rice. mashed potatoes or anything else you like.

Answer 5

Here's a recipe I got from www.vegweb.com:

1 lb tofu
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 tbsp flour
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
chopped scallions
a couple of handfuls of frozen Stoplight Peppers (from Whole Foods) or 1/2 bell pepper, sliced
1-2 tbsp capers

Saute tofu on both sides until it starts to brown. Add nutritional yeast and flour and stir to coat for about another minute. Add lemon juice, soy sauce, and vinegar and allow liquid to be absorbed. Add scallions, peppers, and capers and stir until peppers are tender-crisp.

Serve.

Answer 6

I just had a dessert made with Tofu - It was a blueberry parfait. We asked the waitress, and she said they whip up firm tofu with secret ingredients (probably sugar or honey) so it is a nice creamy consistency . This was layered with sweetened blueberries and granola in a parfait glass. It was to die for.
