Want to take the leap into incorporating tofu into your diet? Try some of these tofu recipes for beginners to learn how to make some tasty dishes using this great source of protein.
Tofu, A.K.A.bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. The resulting blocks can soft, firm, or extra firm. Its got a subtle flavor and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish being made. Usually, tofu is something that people either love or hate. I was on team hate for quite some time. That is, until I started dating myhusband a decade ago. We had just started dating when he offered to make me Pad Thai. When I got to his house I realized he was making it with tofu (say what?!). Since I didn't want to disappoint him, I sheepishly ate my meal. To my complete surprise, I liked it! I quickly made the jump to team tofu and the rest is history.
If you're looking to make the leap into incorporating tofu into your diet, I've rounded up some tofu recipes for beginners that I think you'll love.
