WHO LOVES TOFU???<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I do! But here’s what my dear loved ones think:<\/p>\n

Mom–Doesn’t it look and taste like cardboard?
Dad–The hippie era ended like 25 years ago, Laurel, youknow, when Tears for Fears shook the world…
Hubby–I like tofu, but it’s best with a little steak mixed in.<\/p>\n

I don’t cook much with tofu, mostly I leave slicing and grilling it up to Thai restaurant professionals. But I thought I’d give this a try…<\/p>\n

Hella Easy Tofu<\/b><\/span>
1 lb firm tofu
1\/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
Any other spices you like (crushed red pepper, peanut butter, etc)
<\/a>
1. Mix soy sauce and any other spices in a bowl or coffee cup.
2. Slice tofu into 1\/4 inch slices (long or square, whateva) and place on foil-lined cookie sheet. Spray with non-stick spray.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a>3. Brush soy sauce mixture on both sides of each piece of tofu. Let marinate\/sit for 10+ minutes. Bake at 375 for 25–30 minutes, or until brown and crisp on the edges. Inside will be soft and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Baked tofu in a pool of soy sauce. Mmm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

The flavor is mild and soy sauce-y, but not too salty. It’s really good and too easy!! The best part of tofu is that<\/div>\n
1) it’s healthy.<\/div>\n
2) tofu molds to whatever sauce\/flavors you add to it. Example: if you add soy sauce and ground ginger sauce, the tofu will taste like the sauce. Make sure your sauce has lots of flavor. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Uses:\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
*same as you would chicken cutlets\/nuggets that you can top with gravy or any sauce or dip<\/div>\n
*slice into bite-sized pieces for a soup, stir fry, pasta, casserole<\/div>\n
*serve on a bun with french fries for a healthy alternative<\/div>\n
*any other way you like!! so versatile.<\/p>\n

We made a stirfry…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a>
Tofu, sweet peas, celery, broccoli, pineapple, mushrooms on a bed of rice.
