Incredible, Edible Tofu: 5 Ways to Prepare It

The following article was written by Megan Bedard.

If you're new to veganism, tofu—the incredible, edible soy product—can seem a bit mystifying. The great news is that it's hard to go wrong with it. You can bake it, fry it, skewer it, and blend it. You can season it with herbs, marinate it, or drench it in your favorite sauce. Tofu works in appetizers, casseroles … even desserts!

Here are five recipes to get you started:

Dynamite Tofu With Rice and Broccoli

Sweet and Sour Tofu With Vegetables

Egg-Free Tofu Scramble

Step-by-Step Stuffed Shells

Vegan 'Eggs' Benedict

I like to stuff tofu into chickens and roast it or take a whole block of tofu and wrap it in bacon and just munch the whole thing.

I use smoked tofu to replace bacon in the BLT. Fried smoked tofu is one of the best things in the world. I also add it instead of sausage in my spaghetti sauce.

Tofu scramble is amazing with fried onion, capsicum and mushrooms in it! And I never serve it without a big chunk of avocado on top. Yum!

I like to make Vegetarian Goulash with: 1pkg diced extra-firm tofu, 1 diced large yam,Spanish onion, zucchini,large carrot,jicama, 1/2tsp ground cumin, turmeric, 1tsp Hungarian paprika, grated ginger & 2-4T tamari sauce. Saute in a large skillet the vegetables & tamari for 10-15 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add the tofu,seasonings & cook for 5 minutes. Serve with a salad of your choice.
