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.

    I make tacos with it. The basics are:

    • firm tofu pressed to remove excess moisture
    • sauté a diced onion and some minced garlic in large skillet with oil
    • crumble the pressed tofu and dump it into the skillet
    • sauté in oil for a while (variable time but I like to get some browning). It may need more oil because it absorbs quickly into the tofu
    • I use the taco seasoning packets from the grocery, mixing the contents into the listed amount of water and dump that into the tofu mixture
    • let it simmer until you get the right thickness then it’s done

    It basically tastes just like any meat tacos but less “heavy.” You can also use some as a salad topping since it’s fine cold as well

    My wife loves them but it makes her fart a lot
