What to do with tofu?

sexymouse

Hi everyone,

I bought some of the cauldron tofu this week, and have used 1/4 of the block stir-fried in place of chicken in a korma sauce. I pressed it for the recommended 10 minutes, but it was still almost marshmallowy in texture, and didn't really absorb the flavours in the sauce.

My DH doesn't like tofu - "it's not my scene" so I was wondering what I can do with the remaining 3/4 of a block so that it's not wasted.

Thanks in advance,

PS. I don't eat meat.

If you freeze it, when you thaw it and squeeze out the liquid the texture is completely different and it is more likely to absorb flavours - the texture becomes more open.

You could have it scrambled instead of eggs? Or perhaps coating or marinading it in a sauce and frying it?
I wonder if you could do some skeward with veg and grilled?

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

I normally press for an hour or two, not 10 minutes (when I can be bothered, which is rarely!) I also find marinating helps. Deep-fried tofu is my favourite, but frozen and then baked or fried is nice too.

Scrambled is nice and doesn't need pressing. I also like blending it with lemon juice/apple vinegar, salt (well normally olive brine) and whatever else is on hand to make a kind of soft cheese or dip. You can also blend/mix it with whatever you'd normally use to make burgers/sausages. If you make green juice or plant milk, any savoury pulp is great for this Otherwise I'd just add it to made up sos mix.

Thank you for all of the ideas everyone! I think I'm going to try freezing the remains and then doing something with them, as I don't think I'm going to be able to use it up in the next 2 days, and it says only to keep it for 3.

as a quick meal I like to pan fry it with butter (or oil) till crispy on the outside (you can lightly flour it first) and then eating it with ketchup or better still, some satay sauce but I grew up eating all the different types of tofu so I actually enjoy its subtle flavour
