Tofu? Really???

I'm afraid I can't stomach it either, it's the texture that puts me off. It's just nasty!

The texture changes a lot (for the better) if it's fried or baked. Tofu is like a sponge, so frying really ups the calories (lots of oil is needed). I cube the tofu, spray a cookie sheet with a bit of oil and bake the cubes. They have to be flipped once in awhile (only the bottom side gets crispy) to crisp up the entire cube.
The baked cubes can be used in stir-fries or in salad. They are surprisingly tasty in salads.
