Re: Tofu recipes....
I like to get extra firm tofu, drain it and then set it in a bowl cover it with a towl and place weight (I stack plates on top of it) and leave in the fridge overnight. This isn't necesary, but I like the texture better. I then slice and marinade in soy, hoison and chili sauces for a few hours. I bake it at 375 for about 20 min. Then I have it in the fridge for stirfrys or to have by itself with rice or to put in soup.

Re: Tofu recipes....
I'm making Tofu Primavera tonight - I bought extra hard Tofu that's already chopped. Drain the tofu and let it sit in the fridge for a day. Then, in a large saucepan put in some olive oil and saute garlic. Add veggies (I like mushrooms, asparagus, artichokes and tomatoes). Let them cook for a few minutes and then add sauce - you can add your favorite marinara, or, you can add a cup of Feta cheese and let it melt in the saucepan with everything. Squeeze half a lemon of juice. Let it simmer for a few minutes and then take it out and put it over your favorite pasta. It's YUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMY!

Re: Tofu recipes....
I first saute the garlic for a minute or so and then I add all the veggies, sauce and tofu and let it simmer all together for 5-10 minutes, until the veggies are nice and soft. It's really, really easy. The only time consuming part is chopping the garlic and veggies!

So glad you liked it!! This week I'm going to try this Tofu recipe:
Asian Tofu-Noodle Soup

2 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp ginger root, freshly grated, divided
3 cup mushroom(s), shiitake, stems removed, caps sliced
4 oz uncooked whole-wheat spaghetti, broken in half
3/4 cup carrot(s), sliced
1 1/4 cup snow peas, fresh, trimmed, cut in half on the diagonal
1 cup canned yellow corn, baby, cut in half
8 oz firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup scallion(s), sliced
Instructions
In a large saucepan, bring broth, water, soy sauce, garlic and 2 teaspoons of ginger to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms, spaghetti and carrots; boil 5 minutes. Add snow peas and baby corn; boil 2 minutes. Add tofu; boil until vegetables are crisp-tender and spaghetti is al dente, about 2 minutes more.
Remove from heat and stir in scallions and remaining teaspoon of ginger. Yields about 1 3/4 cups per serving.

Ingredients
1/2 pound carrot(s), grated
4 medium scallion(s), minced

7 1/2 oz firm tofu, extra-firm preferred, well-drained and diced
1 cup dried bread crumbs, whole-wheat

2 large egg white(s)
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
4 medium reduced-calorie hamburger roll(s)
Instructions
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add carrots, scallions and garlic; sauté until carrots are tender, about 4 minutes. Add tofu and sauté for 1 minute more; transfer mixture to a medium-size bowl.
Stir in bread crumbs, teriyaki sauce, egg whites, salt and pepper. Shape into 4 equal-sized patties, pressing firmly with your hands.
Wipe out sauté pan and coat it with cooking spray again. Fry patties on both sides until crisp and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Serve on rolls.
