Tofu Not Just for Scrambled Eggs Anymore!

Tofu, that humble block of pressed soybeans, often gets a bad rap. Think bland, rubbery, and boring. But let me tell you, tofu can be so much more!

Lately, I've been on a mission to explore the diverse world of tofu recipes, and I'm blown away by the creativity. Forget your standard tofu scramble; we're talking crispy pan-fried tofu steaks marinated in fiery gochujang, silken tofu blended into velvety smooth smoothies, and even fluffy tofu ricotta cheesecakes that will fool even the biggest meat-lovers.

Here's what I've learned:

• Tofu is your blank canvas: Its neutral flavor profile means it readily absorbs the flavors of whatever marinade or sauce you throw at it, making it super versatile.
• There are many types of tofu:

Firm tofu is great for grilling and stir-fries, silken tofu works wonders in creamy soups and desserts, and extra-firm tofu can even be crumbled to mimic ground meat.

• Don't be afraid to experiment! There are endless possibilities with tofu, so get creative and have some fun in the kitchen.
