Tofu Experiences?

My friend used this the other week. She marinated it first to give it flavour otherwise she said it would be tasteless, she used it in a curry I think and said she could not tell that it wasn't chicken!

Have never used it myself, but here are a couple of sites to get you started. Hope you find some useful recipes!

Hi

I've just moved you to an older thread which may help, and perhaps you'd like to look at some of these:-

Hi there!

I bought some tofu on offer in Morrisons for 50p, I've used one pack in a stir fry, but am looking for some alternative uses for it. This is plain tofu, so any ideas for extra ways of flavouring it would be appreciated as well!

Yes I did buy it cos it was cheap but also cos my friend used to use it in curry and it was always delicious then!

Anyway I thought that there must be other uses for it, I've had a look on the vegan thread and seen a quiche idea, blending the tofu and using it instead of eggs and that sounded nice. I just wondered how else I could use it?

Thanks everyone

When I get a minute I'll send you my recipe for tofu loaf - made in a 2lb loaf tin, served hot in slices with gravy - most scrumpdiddylicious and easy to make. As you say, quiches are also good.

It's great in stirfries and curries and can be scrambled on toast. I also have an entire cookbook of tofu recipes so could lend that to you.

Remind me if my menopausal brain forgets!

You can scramble it like eggs. or make a cheesecake with it, also use it in quiches, as you said, or as an egg replacer in cakes, ect..

I cut it into strips and soak in soy or tamari. Then I fry it until crispy...You can then use it in various other dishes or make tofu BLT's :-)

Hi mummysaver,

There are lots of ideas on this earlier thread that may help:

Tofu Experiences?

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

I use tofu in fajitas instead of chicken. Mmmmm, yummy and you can hardly tell the difference from chicken!
