Anyone know how to prepare tofu? I guess I am kinda hesitant to do anything with it. I have to eat mostly protein since the gastric bypass, so I thought I'd try it. I have a hard time digesting beef, pork, ground meat and turkey. I eat a lot of scallops and shrimp, and the only chicken that's soft enough are breast tenders grilled on my foreman grill.

I have a pack of silken tofu, but I don't know if it is the right kind, but if the tofu cooked is too rough of a texture, it will not stay down

I have never tried it before ever. If anyone eats it regularly, and can tell me what you think I could try that would lovely!

Thanks!

I looove tofu. I have cooked the silken tofu that comes in a big cube before..you can just dice it into small cubes, drain it, and toss it in a stir fry or soup.

Tofu is fairly tasteless so it pretty much takes on the flavor of what you cook it with. You could use it in a stir fry with shrimp but I would add some sort of marinade with it for flavor.

You could also marinate little cubes overnight in the fridge and toss a handfull onto the Foreman grill with your chicken breasts. It will get rubbery if you overcook it though, so I would wait until the chicken is partially cooked.

Let us know what you come up with..

Anything that you can do with meat you can do with tofu. You can fry it with mixed veggies in a stir-fryer, you can grind it for hamburgers, etc.

I think I will try to marrinate some in some beef broth and seasonings. I will let you know how it turns out I just hadn't had the guts to try it yet, lol. I thought about having my grandma make something... She caould make buffalo chips taste like prime rib, lol.
