I don’t know about you, but the thought of cooking with tofu used to scare me. I knew I liked the taste because I’d had it in miso soup, but I had NO IDEA how to prepare it. One day, I was talking to a friend who makes tofu regularly, and she insisted it was the easiest thing to make. So, I decided to go for it!
What ensued was a deep love for tofu – everything about it – the taste, the texture, the protein, the ease of preparation. And now it has become part of my weekly dinner regimen. In fact, one of my favorite meals is a Tofu Veggie Bowl.
If you have never prepared tofu, I highly suggest giving it a shot. I’ve made it very easy for you. Here is a video made by yours truly that shows you exactly how to prepare the tofu:
Enjoy!
