This one time I took a piece of tofu and simmered it in orange juice and the drippings from sausage and a few drops of maple syrup for a good half hour.

I was SURE such a heady, fragrant bath would change its flavor.

eat marinaded tofu
don't even need to cook it

first though, place a plate on top of the tofu and put something heavy on the plate to squeeze out the water. Helps the tofu absorb liquid

>> No.4284517

to cook good tofu, get extra firm and wrap it in a towel. put a weight on top and press it for about 30min a side, you are pressing all the water out.
when thats done, cut it into strips and lightly fry, then add it to whatever. it will taste like whatever you cook it in.
I love tofu becase its cheap.

also,if you cook it frozen it will crumble almost like hamburger

I don't mind tofu but honestly it is bland and I don't really like the texture but I still eat it if it's in a dish someone prepares for me.

I definitely gotta learn to cook with it as I'm eating less and less meat in my diet (trying to keep it to friday-sunday meals). The fruit flavoured desert tofu is awesome as well.

i bought silken tofu and tried to cook with it

man what a failed experiment THAT was. I even drained it like a motherfucker and tried to stir fry it. It literally looked like feta cheese when I was done. Is it because it was silken so soft as shit?

regardless I had Pei Wei today and there were tofu slices in what I ate and god damn was it delicious

guess i'll buy a more firm tofu and try again. Any recommendations on how to cook the bastards?

Silken tofu is for making liquid or smooth preparations. I always buy firm or extra firm tofu for cooking. If you can find sprouted tofu, I like the flavor of that in particular. And if you can find fried tofu, that's awesome in stir frys and soups, or even salads.

You are referring to phytoestrogens. Alas, like all hormones, their half-life in the body is terribly short. Eating tofu (or any other hormone for that matter) has no effect on the body unless you are constantly ingesting it all day, every day, for weeks on end. This is why people who take hormones for medication either take specially esterified versions which are engineered to last a long time in the blood after being injected (such as taking testosterone propinate instead of normal testosterone), or you have to take pills several times a day, every day (such as a bodybuilder taking dianabol or winstrol)

i was about ready to steam/fry some tofu with chili ginger sauce, and broccoli.

It IS a hassle to store though, after you cut a block of it.and ive got a Huge block of it.

Tofu can be delicious if properly prepared, but not usually by itself. Its good to have another dish with it.
