hey do you have any idea how Earthfare does their tofu? they do a maranated tofu, that is super thick, and has a great consitancy.

Emily, I read this post for the first time when you recently linked to it, and decided I would try it. It took me awhile to get around to buying the tofu, and then a whole week went by before I went ahead and made it. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I’ve only ever had tofu cold out of the package, and (needless?) to say, I wasn’t overly impressed. But after following your directions, I had to stop myself from eating the whole batch in one sitting! Thanks for this tutorial, I finally know how to integrate tofu into my diet.

Emily, THANK YOU so much for this how-to. I have tried to make tofu so many times in so many ways and unless it was totally hidden, I just couldn’t find a way to like it. I used this technique and put it in a stir fry and it was delicious! Even my carnivore husband said it was great :) I love reading your blog, best of luck to you and the babe.

in my opinion the most important part of preparing tofu – more important than pressing it, even – is to freeze and thaw it BEFORE you use it: you will find the tofu has a much ‘meatier’ texture.

resting it – just like you rest meat – for a few minutes after it’s cooked also helps with the texture.

i really disliked the texture of tofu before i started using these to methods – now, i could happily eat it for every meal.
