Throw it in the bin.

Make tofu chocolate pudding

>>12783413
yeah. try freezing it first for a firmer texture

is there not enough söy in your water supply already?

Pressing the water out of tofu is a good idea before you start using it, drain the block then put it between two chopping boards with some weight on top (try not to collapse the block)
You can chop and season and fry that 10 minutes later and it's grand. Eat it straight, dip in ketchup or cook it in with your curries.
That or freeze it (>>12783433)

I've been messing around with it a bit. Haven't had great luck yet, but I find that marinating it in something for a day or two usually helps a lot.

It's also pretty good in any asian style soups.

>>12783392
Depending on how firm it is you can cut it in cubes and put it through a garlic press to get something like minced meat, but finer. It won't have any taste worth noting, so spice it up with whatever you want it to taste like.

Next time get smoked tofu, that's actually good enough to eat solo.

>>12783451
do you need a vacuum chamber to do it?

>>12783392
Boil some of this up and put in the tofu and some green onion.

>>12783481
>boil
grill

>>12783392
Like others have said, you will definitely want to
press the tofu before working with it. Some paper towels, two cutting boards, and a can of beans or two makes the tofu really easy to work with. I'll generally cut it into cube and then bake it. It's a really easy protein to add to salads or stir fry.

This.

put soy sauce and teriyaki sauce in pan with tofu then cook bug

>>12783392
Throw it on your compost. Tofu is for fags.

>>12783392
Tofu is pretty tasteless by itself. Gotta marinate it for flavor. I’d recommend one with soy sauce, mirin, garlic, red pepper flakes, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Put it in there after pressing out the extra moisture like anons recommended, then let it set for 2 hours or so. After you pull the tofu out of the marinade pat it dry with paper towels, then you can pan fry it, bake it, grill it, or even batter and deep fry it.

deep fry tempura tofu with soi sauce

>>12783814
Why the fuck go through all that trouble to deep fry, and throw fucking tofu in? BULLSHIT
Set up your deep fryer only to fry something actually good. Not to make garbage barely acceptable.

>>12783392
if it is firm and silky you can make a cold one with soy sauce and chopped spring onion.
Mapo tofu is another one you can try even with the porus ones.

>>12783874
you sound mad
have some tempura tofu

>>12783874

>stop liking what I don't like!
Insecure closet cases, the lot of you. Mapo tofu is really good. You can also try frying it and using it in pad thai.

>>12783874
Calm down bro
I guess if you're american you can tempura some potatoes to go with it

Anyone older than 14 that doesn't like something because "it is for fags" has something seriously wrong with them.

>>12783906
They're a fag

Imagine being so insecure about yourself that you enter threads about things you don't like, or more likely never even tried, to shit on it. Boomers are like children, if it's new to them, it's scary.

Unfortunately tofu has shit macros and shit taste. I don’t bother with it
>>12783413
Ma po is my favorite meal but it’s not worth eating all the oil
