Terrific tofu

This week I tried something new. I made a tofu stir fry. 
I first tried the silken meat substitute at a sushi restaurant and loved it. I immediately went out and bought a box but I had been putting off cooking it.
Anyone I know who had cooked it before said it was a nightmare to work with. One even said it tasted awful.
So tonight I took the plunge, I marinated it and then fried it. 
Not going to lie, it was easy peasy. Yes there was a lot of chipped off chunks and it looked far from perfect. But the big chunks were great and the little bits were a nice addition to almost every bite. I just threw it in a stir fry. Yum.

I took the advice I was given and only moved it once to turn it over. I recommend cooking with tofu if you like it. It is fast, easy and on hand whenever you need a quick dinner. We don't need meat in our diets every day. It kept me full all evening and is definitely something I will be eating more of.
