Extra Firm Tofu Recipes

I have been craving Tofu lately and picked up a couple of packets of Extra Firm Tofu. Does anyone have a good recipe for using Tofu? We usually make Mabo Tofu with pork, but I am looking for some other options.

Not exactly a dinner food, but I am planning on making this today (I LOVE chicken wing dip, and was happy to find this healthier version). We'll be subbing Morningstar 'non-chicken' strips for the chicken.

This may not have mass appeal, but here's how I fix cold tofu for lunch or a snack...it's kind of like egg salad minus the eggs.
- Put tofu in a mixing bowl and mash it with a potato masher
- Add some/all of the following, according to your preferences:
Mayo or salad dressing
Mustard
Onion, chopped
Celery, chopped
Roasted red peppers, chopped
Capers
Dill weed
Seasoning (I'm hooked on Spike seasoning and Lawry's seasoning salt)
- Serve on high fiber crackers

I use tofu a lot in various soups and it's a great stirfry component if you brown it on medium high first. You just need to make sure you drain it well and press the moisture out first to get a nice crisp exterior.

Enjoy! I can't wait to see what others suggest!

I had tofu scramble for lunch today and it was amazing.
I added some sliced sausage, grated carrot and cheese to the mix.

Tofue scramble is the bomb.
