Also, throw some tofu in the blender with your smoothie. Doesn't change the flavor, adds protein.

Jgnat is right. I learned the hard way. My favorite is as an Asian stir fry. Such an easy, quick dinner. Is there a recipe section on here?

Just a thought, guys. Tofu is soy curd, and soy is blamed for the feminization of men.

I like tofu, and I like chinese cabbage (though regular cabbage will do). This is what I like to do:

Shred the cabbage and stir-fry it in Sesame oil. Once it becomes soft, add your cubed extra-firm tofu, a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds, and a few dashes of soy sauce. Continue to gently stir-fry until the cabbage is limp and the tofu has picked up the soy sauce color. Serve over seasoned rice.

For grilling:

Slice extra-firm tofu into 3/4 inch slices. Marinate for two hours in a combination of soy sauce, garlic powder, brown sugar, and ground ginger, flipping it over ever 20 minutes or so (sorry, I don't have measurements, I do it by sight). Light the grill and let the flames die down. Once the coals are at a steady glow (without flame flare-ups) lay down a sheet of aluminum foil and place the marinated slices on the foil. Close the lid. Flip the slices with a spatula every ten minutes until done (browned, not burned).

It might lose its "flavor?"

For those that don't like or think you don't like tofu, I would venture that for many it's because your basing it on the tofu sold in health food stores which I do agree is awful stuff and would advise giving it a wide berth.

I used to go to a place where they made their own tofu and there is nothing better than the fresh stuff. The varieties they sold were mind boggling. I'd also ask for some of the freshly made soya milk which would be steaming hot and so good when your freezing your butt off doing door to door in the depth of winter! (Cheap too!)

So Iamallcool and for anyone else interested, here's a recipe that is so good, and also so fast you could blink and it would almost be done.

You need to get hold of some soft Silken Tofualso known asTofu Flan. It's basically a soft tofu that's kind of wobbly. It's normally sold among the Japanese variety of Tofus and measures about 6cm x 4cm x 14cm. (I have some in my fridge so I just measured it for you!)

You will also need:

- scallions (chives)

- oil

- soya sauce

So all you need to do is:

- open the pack of silken tofu and tip it upside down on a plate or a flat bowl

- chop up some scallions (chives in UK), the green part

- sprinkle them over the tofu

- put three or four spoons of oil in a small pan

- heat it until very hot and then pour it over the chives and tofu. (You will hear them sizzle)

- sprinkle some soya sauce over that

Serve with some rice and steamed brocoli (or brocoli fried with a little garlic)

Enjoy!

Here's a picture I just found on the net:

Also on the subject of tofu, this is something I always ask for when I'm at a chinese restaurant, because on the rare occasion they have it on the menu, it is well worth having. It's a very simple tofu pudding that is served warm with some hot ginger syrup poured over it. I don't know the name of it as it changes from place to place, but it can be known as "DouHua" (pronounced Dough Hwa) meaning Flower of the bean. This is because it's fresh tofu bean curd that is in a soft almost jelly-like state and flakes as you pick it up with your spoon and just melts in your mouth. I just love it.
