I was going to do a tofu stir-fry tonight but the tofu has been lurking at the back of the fridge and appears to be about a month past its sell-by date! I need some ideas of what I can make with the following items that I have in the cupboards and fridge (bear in mind I'm vegan

I'd sautee all those ingredients together, minus the bbq sauce. Actually maybe you could bake the tofu (pressed and marinated in the bbq sauce) and serve sliced along side the sauteed beans with tomatoes & lemon. Make one of the grains you have to serve on the side.

I think I'll combine this idea with the one below. Thanks for the help!

What's wrong with making the stir-fry minus the tofu? I make veggie stir-frys pretty often, and I'm not even vegetarian, much less vegan. *g*

Exactly - we do veggie stir fry over rice all the time for meatless nights :)

Good idea, my brain must be switched off :)

It's hot and my brain switched off? Thanks for the help!

Tofu doesn't really "go bad." I think the USDA requires companies to establish expiration/sell-by dates, but it doesn't apply with tofu. If it's frozen, then it's good for up to a year. :-) The only real hazard is a nasty freezer-burned taste if it's not stored properly.

Ew, I've had tofu go rotten in my fridge! The pkg had been unsealed, but it definitely went bad. As far as freezing, it's great but it completley changes the texture of the tofu, ime, and not as suitable for certain recipes.

Well, it's a give and take, really. I prefer the texture of tofu after it's frozen, and I've had tofu spoil IN MY FRIDGE too. Not the freezer.

this is totally unrelated to your post, but i see you found the south park character creater... I've been creating my family members as south park characters for the past few days.
