Do you like Tofu ? I’m frying some in fry light tomorrow for a healthy meal with my daughter .

Not sure if you’ve used tofu before but here I go with the advice😀. I would make your sauces into a marinade and put the tofu in it for a while (as long as you want) to give it some flavour (tofu itself has no flavour. Get your oil hot and then fry the tofu if you want it crispy. However you do it enjoy!

I’ll marinade it first yeh . Thanks for your advice x

Hello Richard260,

Have never tried Tofu before and there is a ‘silken’ kind. Could you please advise me what to do with it and is it a replacement for something else?

I will be interested to see this, as I have not managed successfully to make tofu look/taste good. I did here that freezing tofu actually improves the texture and taste

Always buy Firm or extra firm , when you take it out of the packaging put a tea towel over the block and drain all the water out first , then coat in cornflour and marinade . 2 minutes each side in pan .

Maybe cornflour is the magic ingredient, thats a really good idea 💡

Thank you very much, I will try that and freezing it as well

[Richard260]

Might have to try freezing it but you should only by FIRM Tofu x
