I’ve never actually made tofu because I don’t cook often, but today it was on sale for $0.88/lb (limit 4) so now I have 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of tofu (3 firm, 1 extra firm) that I have no idea what to do with. The oven/stove at my place is broken, so I just have a microwave, but fwiw it has a convection option.

I know there’s something about cutting it into cubes and pressing out the moisture, and I know it’s really good at absorbing flavor but doesn’t have much on its own, but that’s about all I know. I guess I can look up recipes, but idk how to adapt them to a microwave and also online recipes are a pain because of SEO.

Thanks.

    Damn, wish I could get in on that sale tofu-cool

    I’ve never actually tried cooking tofu in a microwave so I may be way off, but my guess would be that you could have good results with crumble recipes like Tofu Chorizo (I haven’t tried this particular recipe, but there are a bunch out there if it seems interesting). Maybe coating it in a bit of oil might improve the final texture
