    54% fat (tofu is).

    Not sure where you got that nugget of information from.
    Certainly by eating tofu - it doesnt feel fatty.

    According to wikipedia "Tofu is relatively high in protein, about 10.7% for firm tofu and 5.3% for soft "silken" tofu with about 5% and 2% fat[40] respectively as a percentage of weight"

    I cut a block of extra firm tofu into 6 slices. I then "dry" it out. Wrap in a towel and place some weight on top for about 30 minutes.

    Then cut into cubes and marinate for 30 minutes in

    2 to 3 table spoons of dijon mustard
    1/2 table spoon of honey
    soy sauce
    seasoning salt
    garlic powder

    Bake on cookie sheet at 350 for @30-40 minutes.

    Then mix with veggies or noodles.

    We just bought tofu last night (suprisingly my BF's suggestion) and I have no idea how to cook it... we stood there for 5 minutes debating "firm, extra firm, etc.".... Love that this post exists!!
