It can also be dipped in sauces (which makes every food good if you are a preschooler). <br /><br />Red lentil dahl is a good first protein. Quick, easy, and you can easily make a combo recipe -- save some plain for Cooper and turn the rest into tasty soup with (you guessed it) tinned tomatoes, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-88644312803193716742010-05-12T23:04:32.859+01:002010-05-12T23:04:32.859+01:00will be interested to hear how you go - sylvia lov...will be interested to hear how you go - sylvia loves tofu though like everything else she is hot and cold on it and took a while to like it - it is a wonderfully versatile ingredient for both babies and adults - sounds from this like you prefer a firmer tofu - I am not so keen on silken tofu but it is useful occasionally for creaminess - good luck!

One of my favorite ways to prepare it is to toss it with a bit of tamari (or soy sauce) and sesame oil and bake it at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Baking really gives a great texture, give it a try sometime!Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1082975144654323238.post-23206654689965017032010-05-10T22:00:32.040+01:002010-05-10T22:00:32.040+01:00We just slice the brick in half, slap it into a pa...We just slice the brick in half, slap it into a pan with some hot oil, sprinkle on some seasonings and that's that. Flip it once it's fried on one side, repeat the seasoning addition, maybe throw on some cheese. Put it onto an open-faced sandwich with some avocado & lettuce & mustard & mayo, yum! Seasonings to add: onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, sage.<br /><br />It's our major protein source.<br /><br />For breakfast, we'll take a box of silken tofu & smash it up, season it similarly to above, and fry it like scrambled eggs. Fabulous! If you add some turmeric it'll even <i>look</i> like scrambled eggs. T. has fooled people (carnivores) even. :)David T.

I do love tofu and the way you describe cooking it is spot on. Getting the moisture out will allow it to brown and a flavorful marinade or sauce is crucial since the stuff doesn't have much flavor on its own.
