Instructions

1

Use fried tofu in a variety of dishes. Fry firm or extra-firm chunks in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and slightly crunchy. Eat it plain or add your favorite seasonings, such as garlic, oregano, soy sauce, cumin or paprika. Use the finished product to complement fried rice, pasta, stir-fry, soups, wraps and leafy green salads.
2

Use care when eating some types of uncooked tofu. Always cook raw, unpasteurized tofu until it reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle. Refrigerated, prepackaged tofu bought from a grocery store has been pasteurized and is safe to eat raw.
3

Make tofu sloppy joe sandwiches. Drain and crumble a block of extra-firm tofu, then fry it in a skillet over medium heat in two tablespoons of olive oil. Add your favorite homemade or prepackaged sloppy joe sauce and continue cooking until hot. Spread the mixture on toasted buns and serve. See if your family can tell the difference before you tell them they're eating tofu.
4

Replace your morning scrambled eggs with an easy tofu scramble. Drain and crumble one package of extra-firm tofu into a skillet with two tablespoons of vegetable oil at medium heat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and one-half teaspoon of turmeric. Add sauteed onions, green peppers, mushrooms, shredded cheese, hot sauce and other items as desired. Cook for five to ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
