Tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you are cooking it with.

It's used as a meat substitute, and depending on the firmness, it's not bad-- I like the extra firm myself, cause the other stuff is just too mushy and i can't get past the texture.

You can slice it up lenghwise, and pan fry it -- you can always coat it with breadcrumbs or flour to make it brown better.
Or cube it and toss it in a little oil

It really doesn't need alot of cooking.
You want o concentrate on the sauce you are serving with it...

A thai peanut sauce is nice--
