Been vegan for about 6 months but just got my first block of tofu the other day. So what do I do with this thing? I've only ever ate tofu in miso soup. I'm looking some super-simple suggestions, the fewer ingredients the better.

    Not the simplest way but the key to good tofu is the marinating.

    Press it to get the water out first. Put it between two plates, and then put Das Kapital on top. Any volume will do. Alternatively try putting all the leaflets troskyists have given you on top. Let that sit for a while.

    Cut up the tofu whichever way you like. More square for less crispy, more flat for more crispy.

    Put the tofu back in the plastic rectangle it came in. Fill that with soy sauce, a pinch of sesame oil, bit of salt, garlic powder, the point is whatever seasonings you like really. Fill the remainder of the rectangle with water so that it soaks all the tofu. Let it soak overnight.

    Next morning just stick them right on a nonstick pan, no oil needed, but oil will make them taste better and be worse for you.
