TOFU

[Dysnomia]

How do I make it without 1-making it slimy, or 2-making it curdle like that shit from panda express.  I want to start experimenting with tofu dishes in our wok.

[Kai]

Skip tofu and use real food?

I like tofu when it's done right   

[Jenne]

We always bought firm when we used it (we haven't a WHILE, for some reason), and we cubed it and sauteed it.  I don't remember that it was bad this way, in fact, it was tasty enough.

Can't say I have a huge crush on it or anything.

Cube it, toss it lightly in flour, and fry it in oil until golden. Add sauce.

OR, crumble it in hot oil with a bit of flour, onion, garlic, cook until kind of dry and crumbly, serve where ground beef is called for.

OR, saute with soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, hot chili oil, and a touch of rice wine vinegar. Eat, yum!

[Dysnomia]

YUM!  I could put it in noodles with some veggies.

"done right" in this context = "thrown in the trash before it can be consumed by innocent humans".

To me, TOFU seems like the vegetarians' answer to Spam. 

[Eve]

Nah. Spam is NEVER okay; tofu can be good, when properly prepared and served with something good.

In college, the dining hall liked to offer cubed tofu with white rice. Not the way to eat tofu.

[Manta Obscura]

Tofu is only good when it is

A) Fried to a texture at which it no longer tastes like tofu, or

B) Chopped up in egg salad sandwiches and masked by the taste of eggs, mayo and green onions.

[megatron]

Do you drain and freeze it before cooking? It makes the texture a lot more palatable.

Tortoiseshell tofu: http://www.foodrecipesforum.com/2008/03/18/tortoiseshell-tofu-Recipe/

Not sure if this is the same recipe my dad once made, but it had the same name and so far it's the only way I've actually enjoyed tofu.

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

Unless it's hiding in the miso soup, trying not to get in the way of good miso... it should not be used.

Unless its HuFu... then it should be sauteed over an open fire, while making cannibalistic chanting noises.
