simple tofu

even before i was vegetarian, joe and i learned that cooking tofu isn't necessarily easy.  in fact, our first attempt was quite gross.  in order to start enjoying tofu, vegan with a vengeance has a recipe that is sure to work.

pressing the tofu takes out some of its moisture, improving its texture a bit.  to do so, place your slices of tofu between kitchen towels or paper towels and set some flat heavy things on it (i do a 9x13 pyrex loaded with anything with some heft).  press it for a while...an hour is great but 20-30 minutes will surely do the trick.  then proceed with your recipe making.  you could even press the tofu the previous day to save time when cooking.

try your baked tofu alongside some potatoes and a salad, or have it cold on a sandwich piled with veggies.  for breakfast, i warmed some up for a tofu mcmuffin with spinach.
