Tips for Cooking Tofu

While tofu may seem intimidating if you haven't tried it, it’s actually a convenient and plant-based protein option that easily takes on flavor and can be incorporated into a wide variety of simple meals: from sandwiches and salads to stir-fry's and noodle dishes.

By quickly seasoning tofu using your favorite sauces or spices, it becomes a flavorful, tasty addition to any meal. I sauteed mine with turmeric, chili powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast, which tasted delicious on top of an English muffin.
