Calling all tofu aficionados.

I think there's a certain amount of irony in the fact that as I was puttering in the kitchen before coming to write this post, I dropped a full bottle of steak sauce on my toe.

Anyway, tell me what to do with tofu! Got favorite recipes? Preparation tips? Dos and don'ts? Lay 'em on me.

Your poor toes.

Here are my three favorite tofu recipes:

Oh man, that hurt. It's still throbbing.

And thanks for the recipes! That's exactly the sort of stuff I was looking for.

One of my favorite local (Mpls) restaurants, Rice Paper, makes lightly fried Tofu Puffs with a spicy peanut sauce. Teh Yum.

I love to barbeque it. I have this great marinade that I cannot find right now for life of me. The secret is pressing the tofu first. I place the tofu between two baking sheets and then load a bunch of books (or cans) on top of it. Stays together much better after. If I ever find the darn recipe I'll let you know. :)

I also had an awesome tofu ice cream recipe...fooled even tofu haters. muwhahah. :D

Cool, I'd love the recipe if you come across it.

I'm totally stealing all the good ideas you get with tofu. I never got into cooking with it since all the recipes used to tell you to twist it up in a towel first. Now that the recipes seems to be "easier" and I'm living away from tofu-rich restaurants (because really, I love it).

I'm jumping into the macrobiotic boat, myself. Not seriously ... just learning and seeing if it's something I can do without exploding my brain (anything that requires planning seems to ignite my fuse -lol-). Maybe we should start out own community of healthy recipes so it would be full of friendly faces.

Steal away! :)

I'm stealing the suggestions too. I could never get tofu to taste like anything, so I gave up.

Could try putting steak sauce on it. :)

Ha! One of my coworkers suggested the same thing when I related the story.
