“I experimented with tofu one night because I didn't have ground beef on hand. This makes a lot but stores really well in the fridge to be reheated! Definitely good for those who are weary to try tofu.” - by GUELPH CLOG GIRL

"This was the first tofu recipe I've ever tried and I loved it! I left out the corn and didn't add any extra water so that it was thick. I highly recommend this to anyone who is experimenting with tofu..." See more."

"I froze my tofu (been in the freezer for a while). Defrosted it in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes. Took it out and it was a tougher consistency--like grd turkey or beef. Added fresh minced..." See more garlic (3 cloves), added some red and green bell peppers with the onions and celery. Didn't have corn on hand. I chopped up some carrots very finely diced and threw that in the pot too. I sauteed all the veggies for a while in some EVOO to get it nice a soft yet crunchy. You don't have to brown the tofu, just mix it spices. I added more chili spice (probably tripled it), added a dash of hot sauce, a dash of garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper and a hint of mrs dash hot and spicy. Didn't want it too spicy but enough flair to go on. Mixed all that up in the tofu. It won't change any color...so if seeing the white bothers you, try marinating it in some tomato sauce or something. I didn't care it was white. Poured the tofu in the pot and let it boil for bit 5-8 min and then simmered. I didn't cook it for the time stating (1 hr). Thought that'd be too long, plus I needed a meal quick. Served this with turkey hotdogs for the family. MMMM mmm mmm . Leftovers the next day are superb! Try this recipe.. simple."

"This is a delicious vegetarian recipe but uses way too much water. I used half the amount called for and then added uncooked elbow macaroni during the last 12 minutes of cooking...." See more"
