Easy Tofu Cooking Tips - How to Press and Cook Tofu - The Daily Green
You've seen tofu. You've eaten tofu. And you may have even purchased tofu at the grocery store — it's available just about everywhere these days. But, like most people, you probably have no idea what to do with it. The truth is that tofu is one of the easiest and healthiest foods to cook — it's easy to work with, it has an extremely mild taste that goes with anything, it's full of quality protein, it's cheap, and it's fast. But in order to turn this white brick of pure potential into dinner, it helps to know a few tricks and tips. Tofu needs to be "pressed." Slice open the package and drain out the water. Some other things to keep in mind: Tofu loves being marinated. Tofu hates marinades containing oil. Get crispy with cornstarch. Don't forget about broiling, grilling & grill pans. Tofu: not just for stir-fries anymore.
