Tofu Help

Silken tofu also makes great pumpkin pies. I also use tofu instead of ricotta for my wife (I blend with eggs, nutritional yeast, sometimes even add soaked raw cashews and sun dried tomatoes), who is allergic to cow dairy, in lasagna.

I'm having it this week, as a matter of fact (below)

Making a Buddha Bowl with peanut sauce -- will take firm or extra firm tofu, dry out and marinate it in Ponsu sauce (great for tofu). Then, I'll take raw ingredients with cooked mung bean sprouts, black beans and roasted sweet potatoes. Thinking raw and shredded pea pods, red cabbage, kale with sesame oil, maybe zucchini. Put it all in a bowl with the fried tofu (pan fried after marinating all day) and then cover with a simple peanut sauce -- tamari, rice wine vinegar, maple syrup, fresh ginger/garlic and peanut butter with some sesame oil. The tofu won't be the star of this dish, but it's good and adds protein.
