I bought a package of tofu last week. As of today, it is still sitting in my fridge. I have looked online for recipes and well, it's still a mystery to me. I don't get it. All anyone ever tells me is "It takes on the flavor of what you are cooking..." So, um, what the hell does that mean exactly? I was going to try it because supposedly it is a good source of protein and quite frankly, I need something new in my diet. I'm getting bored with my dinners.
I
stalked asked a lady buying it at the grocery store who she said that she cuts it up into cubes, fries it in olive oil, then puts it back in the pan with some BBQ sauce and eats it like that. Okay, great... but has anyone looked at the ingredients of BBQ sauce lately? Sugar, carbs and a bunch of other crap I don't want entering into my body. I think this would defeat the purpose of eating the tofu.
I don't own a wok and I don't have a lot of money to spend on some wacked out ingredients, herbs, spices, etc. So, on that note, if you can give me an easy, minimal ingredient recipe for tofu, I'd be most grateful. I've got until June 24th before this clump of curdy-looking, water block goes bad. Mmm, sounds yummy. Can't wait to try it!
nice...
