Tofu for beginners?

[Hopelesslydevotedtoshrews]

Morning all, I'm keen to start incorporating tofu into my diet, but no idea where or how to start. I tried some Cauldron ready made spiced tofu, but it tasted like any other highly salted UPF with additional strange texture.

Do any of you have any tofu for dummies recipes? I know there are different types and I'm not trying to make it taste like a meat substitute, just any simple recipes that will show tofu off to it's best advantage would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance ❤️

Scrambled tofu. Mash up tofu on a plate (don't bother draining). In a frying pan, cook some garlic. While cooking mix up nutritional yeast, turmeric, mixed herbs, pepper and chilli if you like it with some boiling water in a separate dish. Add tofu to pan for a minute. Mix in herb/ nutritional yeast mixture and stir until water reduced. Serve on or with toast.

Loving some of the ideas here… just remembered one more..I’m lazy so don’t blend the ingredients, just stir fry them chopped up and still works

I like it sliced into fingers then fried til crispy. It's particularly good in fajitas

I make this quite often.
Sometimes use chilli sauce instead of mango chutney.,

Saw & thought of you, OP.

I love tofu. I usually get ultra firm tofu, give it a good long press, and then marinate it for 48-72. I do a bunch of different marinades - usually a soy sauce base, maybe mixed with some garlic, ginger, hot sauce, honey, chilli jam - whatever is hanging around the kitchen tbh. After it's soaked up the marinade, I dredge it in cornflour and pan fry it til golden and crispy. If I'm feeling fancy I might cover it in breadcrumbs or sesame seeds for the extra crunch.

I make silken tofu with a tsp honey and either 1tsp cocoa powder or lemon, blended. It's like mousse.

I want to love ordinary tofu but really don't like it. You're inspiring me to try again.
