Its also nice not cooked, cut yourself a 1inch cube, in a small dish, a bit of soy sauce on top, some Japanese garlic on top, or if you can find it try "miyogo" thinly sliced, a little crushed ginger and some thinly sliced onion. Very Japanese style and very testy.
as a first time tofu attempt i dont think i'd go that route....
my favorite tofu recipe:
one block firm tofu
one package tofutti cream cheese
one block frozen spinich
one box of large shells
your favorite pasta sauce
little garlic (fresh or powder)
onion
a) mince onion and garlic
b)cry
c)drain and sqeeze water out of tofu
d)saute onion and garlic on frying pan
e)add tofu and start mashing --should resemble scrambled eggs
f) stop cooking when begins to turn brown, do not burn at all
g) microwave spinich while tofu is cooking
h)mix all ingredients together(obviously dont include the shells
i)salt and pepper to taste
j)cook shells 3/4 of way
k)insert tofu mixture into shells
l)lay on pan lined with sauce
m)pour more sauce on top
n)bake in oven (remember all of your ingredients are not dead animals so nothing needs to be cooked to any certain temperature, you are just getting everything hot)
o)eat and dont tell your friends you are eating a completely vegetarian/vegan meal until after you are done
i also enjoy making tofu 'cheese' cake
stir fry's (i suggest small cubes)
grilled tofu sammich's
fried tofu sammich's
i tend to mix tofu into anything that could potentially contain dead animals, aka pasta sauce, 'meat'loaf's, etc......
tofu scramble!!!!! best meal ever....it is like scrambled eggs.
1/2 block tofu
any veggies you want that go well with breakfast
slice/mash/and cook in frying pan until hot
season to taste
