It’s no secret around here that I love tofu. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! But not everyone feels the same, and this makes me sad. My theory is that most tofu haters simply haven’t had tofu done right. Cooking with tofu isn’t exactly intuitive, and it’s really easy to mess up and end up with a terrible tasting dish if you’re a tofu newbie. The solution is a good, solid recipe. Well good news: today I’m sharing over 25 of my favorite, easy, delicious tofu recipes. If you’re completely new to tofu, I recommend reading through my post on everything you need to know about tofu, as well as my detailed tutorial on how to press tofu. Then come back here and try a recipe or two!
Pan-Fried Tofu Recipes
Pan-frying is a great go-to tofu cooking technique. You can pan-fry your tofu plain, using the method in this tutorial, or coat it in cornstarch for a crispy coating like you see in my General Tso’s tofu.
Crumbled Tofu Recipes
Crumbling tofu and sizzling it up in a skillet is an easy and delicious way to replace ingredients like eggs and ground meat in lots of plant-based recipes!
Baked Tofu Recipes
Baking is my favorite tofu cooking method for beginners. It’s really easy! Plus, because baked tofu gets soaked in flavorful marinade, it usually comes out tasting delicious.
Blended Tofu Recipes
Blending tofu is a fun way to disguise it as another ingredient! Blend your tofu up chunky to create vegan ricotta, or smooth for creamy desserts and dressings.
Grilled Tofu Recipes
Looking for a delicious meatless recipe for a cookout? Good news: tofu cooks up beautifully on the grill!
No-Cook Tofu Recipes
The easiest way to prepare tofu doesn’t involve cooking it all! Tofu can be marinated for flavor, or simply tossed into dishes like soups and stews for extra protein and texture. Like this recipe?
