Tofu often gets a bad wrap. Many peoples first experience with Tofu was improperly seasoned and leaves people coming away with conclusion that Tofu is nasty because it doesn't taste like anything. The wonderful thing about Tofu is that it acts as a sponge and soaks up the flavors of whatever it is being cooked with. Its a good way to insert protein into your regular diet. There are four basic types of Tofu silken, soft, firm, and extra firm. Silken and soft are often used in desserts, soups, dips and condiments these types are wonderful additions to breakfast smoothies for a quick breakfast on the go. Firm and extra firm are stiff enough to act as a meat substitute. a few quick and tasty ways to prepare Tofu are marinate it in Italian dressing for thirty minutes in the refrigerator then broil it in the oven until it is crispy. Or in the mood for fried chicken? Try draining Tofu for several hours then pressing the excess water off. Slice and quickly dip into a little bit of water, then flour mixed with favorite spices (or try cornmeal, gulten free baking mix is also tasty) both sides, put into your preferred frying agent.
