Cooking with Tofu

I'm one of those weird people who loves tofu. I don't just tolerate it. The great thing about tofu is it takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it with. I usually sautee it with olive oil, garlic, onions, and a dash of soy sauce, which gives it a golden brown color and good flavor. The soy sauce is key because it adds saltiness. When stir-frying tofu, use the extra-firm variety because the softer versions will break up when you stir them and you'll have something that looks like cottage cheese (yuck!). I make stir fry so often that I hardly ever experiment with other ways of cooking with tofu, but I'm going to make some baked cajun tofu sandwiches this week and will report back on the results!
