Been vegan for about 6 months but just got my first block of tofu the other day. So what do I do with this thing? I’ve only ever ate tofu in miso soup. I’m looking some super-simple suggestions, the fewer ingredients the better.

    I usually pan fry tofu; I cut it into rectangles that are thin enough so that I only have to fry them on 2 sides. If you really want them to taste amazing, mix cornstarch and nutritional yeast in a bowl and cover the tofu cubes in the mixture before your fry them. Then you can put them in a stir fry

      JESUS CHRIST THE ONLY PERSON HERE MENTIONING CORN STARCH OP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO MAKE TASTY TOFU

      DRENCH IT: PRESS IT WITH SOMETHING HEAVY TO REMOVE MOISTURE, LEAVE HEAVY OBJECT ON IT FOR LIKE FIFTEEN MINUTES, PREFERABLY AT AN ANGLE

      MIX IN CORN OR POTATO STARCH

      VEGETABLE OR GRAPESEED OIL TO FRY IT.

      THE REST OF THE STIRFRY IS UP TO YOU
