How to Make Tofu Taste Good (Part II)
Although tofu is one of the healthiest foods on the planet, many do not like its flavor and texture. SOLUTION: Once you’ve pressed the tofu to remove the excess liquid, you can cut it into slices and pan-fry in a little oil until it’s crisp and golden brown. Then you can use it in a:
Stir-fry
Salad
Braise
In this video, we use pan-fried tofu in a Vegetarian Noodle Salad with a Spicy Tahini Dressing (The flavor is similar to my Spicy Peanut Dressing.). The dish is a delicious meal by itself. Then I use pressed, uncooked tofu, skewer it between red onions, orange or yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, and drizzle it with a vibrant ginger teriyaki sauce. Once grilled it too becomes an excellent, satisfying entrée that will satisfy even the most ardent carnivore.
