That sounds lovely. I’m a recent convert to tofu and tempeh and have just been shallow frying it in some spices.

Ottelonghi"s black pepper tofu.

Agedashi tofu every time!! Fresh soft tofu from the Asian market, rolled in seasoned rice starch and cornflour and deep fried until it’s light and crispy on the outside and custardy in the middle. Dipping sauce of stock made with kombu, soy, mirin and black vinegar. I could eat this for every meal forever.

Scrambled egg and egg mayo.

Rhi Scran’s General Tso tofu. The most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. She’s on Instagram.

That sounds like a recipe I had a few months ago and lost. You don’t have a link do you?

I'm new to the tofu scene, even though I've been veggie for over 30 years! Only tried it in stir fries, so here for the recipes please!

Amanda ducks (YouTube) tofu scramble! My toddler also loves it

bluecomputerscreen · 01/05/2024 21:37

the crumbly kind
blitzed with salted peanuts
makes an acceptable cheese replacement over pasta dishes or salad.

Following as I love tofu. Had a nice Thai tofu curry at work today but they only gave me about 5 pieces of tofu in it

Ottolenghi’s black pepper tofu is delicious and the butter in it can easily be switched for plant butter.

Otherwise Meera Sodha’s tofu banh mi is amazing. It’s fresh, spicy, a bit sweet, crunchy and so delicious.

I also have this black lime tofu on my long list, which I haven’t tried, but I generally like Noor’s recipes so imagine it would be good.

A dessert; pan fried dumplings/dango.

Put drained silken tofu in a bowl and mash it up, mix in rice flour until its dry enough to shape into a soft dough, then add a few tsp of icing sugar.

Form into balls and thread onto skewers, then pan fry in a little bit of oil until crispy and toasted. Serve with some kind of sauce drizzled ontop like toffee or maple syrup. Or you can do a soy caramel sauce which would be the traditional recipe mitarashi dango.

You can also freeze them and take out a few to re-fry as you want.

Agreeing with Ottolenghi's black pepper tofu - one of my all time favourite recipes.

Ottelonghi"s black pepper tofu.

I was going to say this. It's DH's signature dish.

There's also a recipe including sprouts which is lovely.

LozzaChops101 · 01/05/2024 22:58

Another one for Ottolenghi's black pepper tofu - only with about 1/3 of the black pepper he requires!!!!

Tofu puffs are nice, if you can track them down. I also like the Tofu Knots that I've only found in Waitrose so far. You can sauce them however you like.

@Cadela thank you so much, I had this a few times in a restaurant in Sydney but never knew what it was called so I could order it anywhere else.

Was totally delicious, now I know what to look for on a menu

Meera Sodha's Tofu pepper fry is quite addictive. I've had to give it up because it gives me rotten heartburn, though!

Tossed in garlic powder and corn flour and fried. Makes it nice and crispy and great on top of a bowl of misoa nd rice noodles ( was lunch today!)

I always make tempeh kerring with tempeh, it's delicious.

Rick stein butter chicken but I swap out for tofu, cashew cream and vegan yog for the alternatives and less lime juice in the marinade.

and rainbow plant life tempeh bacon marinade, sub torn up firm Tofu

I make a cheat/simple version of tofu from chickpeas that came up on my Facebook recommendations.. I fry it in spices and use instead of paneer in Indian dishes.
Two of my family don't like tofu (or chickpeas) and neither have noticed the substitution.
