Tofu n00b!! :)

[euphoretic]

I was just wondering about some ideas/tips/tricks for using tofu?
I've tried it perhaps once, & it was some sort of strawberry flavour so that didn't give me a very good idea.
I want to incorporate it into my diet & would be very appreciative of any help!

This is vegancooking, not stalk_other_members_profiles_to_find_something_to_harass_them_about.

Cut it out.

This question has been asked many times--I think you'll find lots of ideas and tips in the tags on the right-hand side of the screen.

Thanks!
Silly question but how exactly do you drain & press it?
Do you just let the water run out on it's own or do you do something special?
I really have so little knowledge on this topic.
Looking through the archives but so far nothing overly helpful.

You're wonderful.
Thanks so much!!

There are many, many ways to prepare tofu. Some of my favourite recipes for tofu I've found at a great vegan food blog: veganyumyum.

In particular, my current favourites for preparing tofu (from her site) are:
Sweet chili lime tofu
Pan fried tofu with kale

Good luck!

Awesome, thank you!

I have to make the sweet chili lime one, thank you!
