I LOVE TOFU

[Guest guest]

I too love tofu.  I buy it, freeze it then about 2 days before I plan to use it,

I defrost it in the fridge, drain and squeeze the water out.  This tends to make

it " tougher " so I don't hear people say is is too " spongy " .

I LOVE TOFU

 

 

Four years ago when I decided to become vegetarian I couldn't stand

it. now that I know how I can prepare it to my taste I LOVE it. Fried

tofu is my fave.

 

I buy and extra firm brand, I cut it up into cubes, a little bigger

than bite sized. I use either sesame or vegetable oil and fry it on

high heat. I like it quite fried but you could fry it to your taste. I

add a teaspoon of an east indian garlic ginger paste, a little bit of

veg broth, then either my vegetarian stir fry sauce, or some soy

sauce. I usually add either broccoli, or spinach. To add some spice to

it I have a chinese garlic pepper sauce that I add. Sometimes I add

noodles but most of the time I cant wait to eat it so I dont bother.

SPONGEY, yes that is the word. It may be a texture thing with me. I

buy a brand that I can only find at an expensive store, and is made

nearby in Sacramento. Best for frying. I need to search here for some

good curry recipes, I LOVE CURRY TOO.
