In Defense of Tofu

I'll admit, tofu used to really weird me out. However, tofu and I have come to terms. So here are some ideas:

"Natural tofu"- not bad in wraps with some veggies and hummus, or any other sauce. Or, with rice or couscous. I really like making a ton of couscous and then adding in some tofu to give it a little protein.

Stir-fried- if you have any curry paste, that works great. otherwise, just add a little oil and whatever spices/veggies you want until the tofu get a little color. Make sure you press the tofu first (with paper towels or a dish towel or something) because they'll cook better if they're dried out. Also, try coconut milk with tofu and some spices over rice...Sometimes I coat the tofu in cornstarch (some people dip it in egg and then cornstarch) so it'll get a little bit crunchier.

Baked- haven't tried this, but I saw a recipe for it on allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Tofu-Bites/Detail.aspx) Coat the tofu in sauce (this one looks like it basically uses barbecue sauce) and then bake in the oven until crispy.

p.s. I was very impressed with your tofu burger until I saw that it wasn't actually your burger in the picture...but interesting idea!
