ugh, not ME!! I love tofu, but then, I know how to cook it so it actually
tastes good. :)

Please, please share, Ren! I am desperately trying to add tofu and other soy products to our family diet, but
it's just not going over well. :(
Do you have recipes, or techniques, or helpful websites?
Namaste,
cris

Two tofu sandwiches my son likes.
Start with firm tofu, rinsed, sliced and set on towels to drain.
Make a breading from cracker crumbs and a little nutritional yeast and
lemon pepper seasoning, some garlic powder if you like. Rub the tofu
with olive oil and dip in the breading. Broil until the breading is
browning and getting crispy, turning once.
Serve on a toasted bun with tartar sauce, tomato, lettuce, onion, what
ever.
The other one starts with firm rinsed, thinly sliced and drained tofu.
Spread the tofu slices with prepared mustard on both sides (French's or
whatever) and sprinkle with nutritional yeast. Cook in a little olive
oil on both sides until browning. Serve on bread or toast like a fried
egg sandwich.
Baked marinated tofu makes good sandwiches too or a good addition to
stir fry.
Dylan likes tofu with Osaka sauce and brown rice. That's a mustardy kind
of sauce, he's a mustard kid. My husband likes these recipes too.
We also use tofu crumbled and seasoned a little, like ricotta cheese in
manicotti and lasagna.

tofu uncooked, just cut up in small cubes that he can snack on while he's
doing something.
Here's a GREAT recipe using tofu that will really surprise you:
This is a Tofu Unchicken Salad:
2 pounds (blocks) of fresh tofu, frozen solid
chopped fresh parsley to taste
2 stalks of fresh celery
1 chopped onion
1 chopped carrot
seasonings to taste: tamari or Bragg's Liquid Aminos, garlic, celery seed
1 cup of eggless mayo (Nasoya makes an EXCELLENT one called Nayonnaise)
1. Boil the frozen tofu in a big pot with water to cover until the tofu is
thawed (you can stick a fork thru it).
2. Remove the tofu from the boiling water and let it cool down. (I like to
encourage it by running cold water over it 'cause I'm an impatient thing).
3. Squeeze out as much of the excess water as you can and then tear the
tofu into little bite-size pieces.
4. Put the tofu pieces in a mixing bowl (did you ever see a mixing bowl?)
with the rest of the ingredients and mix well to coat the tofu pieces.
5. Refrigerate.
Basically, you can use any additional seasonings and veggies that you
normally like to use with chicken or tuna salad. I've added dill weed and
mustard and caraway seeds and apple cider vinegar.
Also, try a google search on Tofu recipes. You're sure to come up with
lots of 'em.
Well, bon appetite!

My favorite tofu dessert involves blending a package of extra firm tofu with
6 oz. of melted chocolate chips! Tofu will really never be the same again if
you try that!!

In a conversation once which ended "Everything's better with chocolate
chips," a co-worker said, "Not corn bread."
The next day I brought in chocolate chip cornbread. It was pretty AND it
tasted GREAT!
Once when my kids were little I was making bread pudding, and reached for
raisins and accidently grabbed chocolate chips and dumped them in. OOOPS!
But it was really, truly good, and so chocolate chip bread pudding has become
a winter standard here.
