I have 2 lb of regular firm tofu (not silken) to use up. Most recently I made green beans and tofu with peanut sauce. We also have spinach so I could make spinach "paneer" with tofu.
I mean I also know another dozen recipes I could try, but I'm in the mood to try something new so was wondering if anybody has favorite tofu recipes they would like to share.
*preferably recipes that do not rely on soy sauce for flavor
Extra-firm tofu (no need to press it; just break it apart into scramble-like pieces)
Turmeric (optional; for colour)
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Nutritional Yeast (or cheese)
Salt
Your choice of vegetables
Method:
Drain the tofu, then break it apart using your hands or a couple of forks until it resembles scrambled eggs.
In a bowl, mix together the tofu, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion, salt, turmeric, paprika, and pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Sauté the tofu on medium-low heat until hot (about 8-10 minutes). You can use a nonstick pan without oil, but if you prefer, use 1-2 teaspoons of oil.
Roast and serve with your favourite vegetables (think tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini)
Variations:
Veggie Variations:
➔ Spinach and Tomato: Sauté spinach and cherry tomatoes with garlic before adding the tofu. The vibrant colors and flavors will elevate your scramble.
➔ Bell Peppers and Onions: Dice bell peppers and onions, then cook them until slightly caramelized. Mix them into the tofu scramble for a sweet and savory twist.
➔ Mushrooms and Kale: Sauté sliced mushrooms and kale until tender. Fold them into the tofu mixture for an earthy flavor.
Spice It Up:
➔ Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce if you like some heat.
➔ Experiment with different herbs like fresh basil, chives, or parsley for added freshness.
Cheesy Goodness:
➔ Besides nutritional yeast, you can also sprinkle in some vegan cheese or dairy-free feta for extra creaminess.
Texture Play:
➔ For a crunch, toss in some sliced almonds or sunflower seeds.
➔ Crumbled vegan bacon or tempeh adds a smoky flavor and texture.
Serving Ideas:
➔ Serve your tofu scramble on whole-grain toast, in a wrap, or alongside avocado slices.
➔ Top with a dollop of vegan sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Tofu Braised with Chinese Mushrooms
Experience the perfect harmony of tender Braised Tofu and earthy Chinese Mushrooms, simmered to perfection in a flavorful sauce. A vegetarian dream come true.
We've been passing by Soy & Bean Stores 豆腐小店 thinking that they only sell taho drinks and desserts. Turns out it also offers Chinese Tofu (50php/400grams), Korean Tokwa (50php/400grams) and even Sisig Tofu (130php/tub). Just like any Asian household, we often use Chinese Tofu and Korean Tokwa as an affordable, healthy and versatile food ingredient. Sharing a few home-cooked dishes using @soyandbeanph's delicious premium quality Chinese Tofu and Korean Tokwa (not to brag but to inspire on the limitless healthy dishes you can cook them with haha😜): 1. Korean Dish: Ddoenjjang jige w/ Korean Tokwa; 2. Filipino Dish: Pork Adobo w/ Korean Tokwa; and 3. Chinese Dish: Easy version of West Lake Soup w/ Chinese Tofu. (Video recipe on reels 🎥 and/or ♪tiktok) 家常豆腐菜。 We also enjoyed the reheat-to-eat Sisig Tofu which had the right balance of spiciness and mayo-creaminess. #tsinoyfoodies #soyandbean #soyandbeanph #tofu #tokwa #tofurecipes #tokwarecipes #filipinofood #koreandish #filipinodish #adobo #chinesedish #flatlayfood #foodflatlay #healthyeating #healthydinner #healthyfood #universalfoodlovers (at Quezon City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSKFg8pdn5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
⭐️ Tofu Cacciatore 😋 Check out this recipe 👊
Growing up, I used to love Pollo Cacciatore. Having been plant-based for 17 years now, here's my version using tofu.
The exact same recipe, just swap out the chicken for tofu.
I like to bake the tofu after coating in cornflour, garlic powder, and herbs.
Then, using garlic and onion? Create your base. Add baked tofu, tomato 🍅 olives, white wine, herbs, and that's it.
A one pot dish is yes for me.
Serve with pasta or foccacia bread.
Who's making this one?
