Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 I almost feel guilty when I eat Tofu-Oatmeal Loaf because it reminds me so much of meatloaf! The original recipe I made this from had so much soy sauce in it I didn't like it, but I didn't want to throw it out. I stirred in a lot more oatmeal until it tasted better. I found I like the grainier texture the additional oatmeal gave it. The original recipe called for 1/3 cup of soy sauce--if you love soy sauce, go ahead, but I couldn't taste anything but soy sauce. I'm terrible about exact measures--I tend to toss things in and go by color and taste. You can use your mother's meatloaf recipe to make this, just substitute tofu, oatmeal and soy sauce for the meat. Tofu-Oatmeal Loaf 1 12 oz package of tofu 2 1/2 cups of oatmeal 1 Tblspn soy sauce, more or less 1/4 cup onions (I put in more!) 1 clove garlic 1/4 cup ketchup 1 Tablspn mustard black pepper Parsely Blend together well, either by hand or in the food processor. Lightly oil a loaf pan, fill pan, smooth off top. Bake at 350 degrees for at least an hour. I usually cook it for 1 1/2 hours. Probably depends on your stove. Let loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes. I like it best the next day, sliced into sandwiches, topped with ketchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 9, 1999 Report Share Posted September 9, 1999 Oops! I used the 1-minute oatmeal. Thanks for catching that. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 1999 Report Share Posted September 11, 1999 HI Maureen, I would think that old-fashioned oats would work in something that is long cooking such as the loaf.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 1999 Report Share Posted September 11, 1999 Jan, I want to make this meatloaf for Sunday dinner. I only have oats that are old fashioned and not quick type. Is that ok? Maybe it'll just be chunkier and just absorb more water. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the yummy ideas. Meatloaf is my husband's fav. We went to a veg rest. in Palm Springs and that's what he got. He seems to be going veg lately. I'm so shocked. My task is to cook whatever he wants and be glad he eats the tuna at work. He prefers the gardenburger and I usually give that to him cuz it's easier. I was never fond of real meat loaf cuz I don't like meat, but the veg loaf was so good that he ordered. I could really get used to it and put barbeque sauce or a nice mushroom gravy instead of the ketchup my mom drenched it with. I'm not a ketchup eater, therefore I balked on meatloaf nite. A little candles and we'll really make being veg fun for him! I love only having to cook one meal instead of two! Thanks again for your great ideas.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 What kind of tofu works best with the meatloaf? I want it to be perfect. Firm or extra firm? Thanks. Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 1999 Report Share Posted September 12, 1999 Hi Maureen, I think the extra firm works best, but my neighborhood grocery store doesn't always carry both firm and extra firm so I use whatever is in stock the day I go to the store!
