I am wondering how to get flavour into tofu

LOL--good luck! I never had luck with tofu either...though it tasted like..uh, well you get the idea..also discovered the hard way that I'm soy intolerant...just as some have lactose intolerance I can't have anything soy anyway.
I did find some recipe sites that might help you though and give you ideas

I love tofu! I don't really cook with it myself. I do love it in hot and sour soup. This chinese soup always has tofu in it and it so delicious! I always order it when I eat Chinese cuisine. I found a website that might be helpful to you. It explains what the two types of tofu are and how to use it in cooking. There are also a number of recipes using tofu that look pretty good! I hope this is helpful to you! Enjoy!

now that is something I would like to know. I bought 2 packs of it so I could get my protein without eatng the meat and it said it was healthy so I wanted to try it. I didn't really like it much I didn't add it to meat or anything but I did add it to salads and stir-frys. So I would also love to read a few suggestions so maybe I can give it another try with better results.

Tofu is something I just can't get used to no matter how I try. There is just one way that I was able to tolerate it pretty well. It gets crumbled up and browned and then I made it like I would sloppy joe... I've done it both with my homemade recipe and with a can of Manwich (tm).

Then I served it on buns like a sloppy joe. The tofu takes the place of the meat. It does not*taste* like sloppy joes we're used to but at least I could stomach it that way and got the health benefits. (I hope!)

Hi
Where I live we have different flavors of tofu, we have things like Berry and things like that, but what I do, and you can use yougurt instead of tofu if you don't like tofu, is I make a drink in the morning called a power drink....
here is what I do...

1 table spoon of tofu, usually plain (or a single serving of yougurt, flavored is good as well)
1 cup of rice milk
1 banana (or 4 small strawberries)
Place all in blender, mix well..
Drink
Very yummy and gives you the energy you need for the morning...

Tofu is usually used for Chinese dishes, so you might want to look up some Chinese recipes. And adding soya sauce will definitely make tofu taste great.:) Deep fry your tofu and let it simmer in soya sauce! Yum! That's the simplest way to eat it.. Or you can deep fry your tofu and prepare a sweet-vinegar dipping sauce to go with it. If you want something healthier, maybe you can try steaming it with fish. Fish and tofu always works well for me.

I was recommended tofu at a time when things were bad and I was looking for cheap food.
I never took to it because I doubted its nutrition and it sounded like something somebody was trying to make popular because it was cheap.
Try adding some of the Chinese sauces like Black Bean or oyster sauce or maybe use a lot of gravy.
I'm not much of a help in this because if something doesn't taste good by itself, you're imposing taste, lets put it that way, by trying to give it taste.
Good Luck!

Hi

Tofu tends to take on the flavor that it is mixed with.

I often mash it up, add finely diced

celery, onion, green pepper along with a

dash of garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

I mix it up with mayo and serve it in whole grain pita

pockets with shredded lettuce and thin tomato slices.

Serve it along with a chilled glass of white and it's

an elegant lunch without the price or bother on a hot day.

I hate the taste of tofu. Maybe its the lack of taste I hate. Anyway since I don't use it at all I can't help with this one. Have a great day.

I've never eaten tofu Rose. I doubt that I would like it at all anyway. It just looks yucky to me. I might just try it one day to see for myself. I have heard so many people say to just add it to the food you are making and it takes on that flavor. I'm reminded of an episode on Everybody Loves Raymond where the mother didn't cook a real turkey.. she cooked a tofu turkey and everyone nearly was afraid to say how they really felt.. it was horrible. I've never been inclined to try it.
