i’ve been preparing mine the same few ways for a while and i’d like to get some more ideas and make a change. how do you prepare yours?
Tofu ricotta, scramble, and fried hard cubes used like croutons.
I usually just air fry it until its nice and crispy and use that in stir fry and that sort of thing, or ill just cube it and use it in soups or curries that way. Every once in a while I’ll coat cubes in miso, lemon juice, olive oil, and lots of black pepper and roast it for like 25-30 minutes at 425 F (218 C) until its still soft but the edges are a bit crispy.
Instead of cutting it into cubes, try hand tearing pieces for the air fryer. If you do that, the irregular edges crisp up better, especially if you oil it and then dredge in cornstarch or similar.
Tofu chunks with potato and onion in a quick and dirty satay sauce(just curry sauce/powder mixed with good quality peanut butter, a bit of soy sauce and msg) with rice or else grated as a substitute for beef in soboro Don (japanese rice breakfast dish with scrambled eggs)
crispy gochujang tofu with vegetables and rice is a favourite.
Grated tofu in gratin and lasagna doesn’t add much in taste but works great for adding protein to a dish.
