i love the tofu, plain and play-dough-y, but to jazz it up....

drain and dry tofu.

slice the tofu into 1/2 inch rectangles. shingles. steaks. slabs. whatever you call them.

brush on mustard.

coat them with shake n bake extra crispy for pork chops stuff...

bake in the oven at 350 until they are cripsy...

Ass-Tofu?

I usually try the sort made from BEANS!

I don't care HOW tasty ass-tofu is

Well, now that you've given up meat, I suppose this wouldn't tempt you anymore?

That picture is...creepy.

I think I'll try this...but without mustard. I am not a fan of mustard. Maybe something like barbeque sauce would work?

I do believe that's a soy burger.

You know how I can tell?


She clearly isn't constipated.

I used to make shake 'n' bake tofu for my wife any time I made shake 'n' bake for the kids. The addition of mustard is genius.

I like tofu drizzled with a light ginger garlic soy sauce and tossed with some lightly steamed, sweet chinese broccoli, then dab on a drop or two of Sriracha hot sauce.

Leto

fry up some ground pork with sliced green onions, chili peppers, peas and ginger. Through in some cubed medium firm tofu and a touch of cornstarch and hoi sin sauce. serve on or with rice.

Similar to BadNick and Leto's.

Soak a small handful of dried shrimps in warm water til they're soft, drain and roughly chop. Plop out a block of silken tofu on a plate, keep it cool in the fridge. Brown up 1/2 lb of ground pork, the shrimp, garlic, ginger, chopped green onions and chili pepper (adjust amounts to your liking). Add half a cup of water, 2 Tablespoons each of soy sauce and oyster sauce and 1 tsp of sesame oil (again, adjust to your liking). Once the pork is done and sauce is the desired consistency, pour it all over the cold tofu, garnish with finely chopped green onions. I love the contrast in texture, especially the way the cold tofu cuts through the hot/savory/spicy sauce. You can leave out the dried shrimp if it's not available. If you want it completely meatless, you can substitute the pork with bean sprouts or bok choy, and the oyster sauce with hoisin (though I hear they make vegetarian oyster sauce). Basically you want to cover the cold silken tofu with a warm blanket of strong flavors.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, tofu makes me think of... miso. And, miso turned out to be so easy to prepare that I no longer need to go out just to get some.
