Questions About Tofu and Other Recipe Ingredients

[Guest guest]

Can someone describe what the different types of tofu are best used in? If I

am understanding what I read correctly, then there are varying amounts of

firmness with tofu. I am curious about this because my family once tried to

make tofu tacos. I'm not sure if it was the tofu or if the seasoning packet

wasn't good enough to flavor it, but whatever the case was, those tacos

turned out badly.

 

I was also curious to know whether or not you guys use mayonnaise or ranch

salad dressing. I have this really great recipe for cauliflower that I could

hunt down to post here, but I didn't want to do it if doing so would offend

you guys since it does have one of those two things in it... Both if you

make it like I do.

I am not sure of all the different uses for Tofu either but I try

just to follow what the recipe is calling for. I found it

interesting, awhile ago, some one posted about freezing and thawing

and then squeezing out the juices to get more of a meat tecture.

 

Also, I just tried " Nayonaise " . It is an alternative to Hellman's

Real Mayonnaise. The " Nayonaise " was absolutely gross!!! I tried

adding some salt and pepper to it to try and make it taste better and

it got worse. If anyone has another alternative for mayo please post

it!!!

The level of firmness really depends on what you are trying to make (or

imitate). You should try to squeeze out the juices (most of the recipes I use

just tell you to squeeze the tofu in a paper towel).

 

I do use mayonnaise or miracle whip and also ranch dressing. I'm not a vegan

though and this is a vegetarian group. I'd love to see your recipes!
