RE: Tofu

[enismirdal]

I need new, exciting recipes for tofu-cooking.

Important points:
-must be quick, less than 20 minutes to do; less than 10 minutes is excellent
-must involve relatively cheap ingedients

They can involve meat - I'm not a veggie; I just like tofu! And I'm not allergic to anything.

My current 2 recipes are:
1. Chop onions and, if you like, red/orange peppers. Fry a bit.
Marinate thinly-sliced tofu for about 2 minutes in soy sauce and five-spice.
Chuck tofu in with onions. Fry until cooked through. Chuck on some oregano, tarragon, pepper.
Serve.
2. Start as before, but instead of the soy sauce mix, use most of a tin of plum tomatoes (chopped). Leave to simmer for a bit till the tomato sauce starts to reduce, then serve. If in a spicy mood, add some salsa.

All suggestions welcomed.

Hmmm, these aren't recipes, but concepts. I'm just trying to think of the flavours that I like with tofu. Or in general. Some of the flavours will go together, others won't ;-). Ginger. Lemongrass. Balsamic vinegar. Lemon juice. Garlic. Spring onions. Mushrooms.

Oooh, some of them sound very nice actually. *decides mushrooms are going on the shopping list*

Excellent, thanks.
