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.
We use this kind of recipe (with vegan oyster sauce) and it is good. This on rice is tasty.
Generally, drying tofu first and squeezing moisture out helps you get the crispier surface. Breading the tofu with panko also helps with that, but I think of that as more of a frying method, not microwave
