That doggie recipe sounds kind of like one that I have for humans - it is scrambled eggs w/ spinach, tofu and cheese. - it sounds good, but I eat spinach in my eggs, when I eat eggs - yum! - you can't even taste the spinach! The tofu I have is firm...I didn't make any yesterday because I just couldn't find any good recipes for it, that I wanted at the time. I wanted to put it on salad, but didn't know if I should just cut it up and toss it in, or if I should season it or what? I might just have the eggs w/ tofu today for lunch! HA! |
If you try it please let us know how it turns out. I made beef strogonoff (sp?) once and substituted firm tofu for the beef. Honestly it was really gross. We couldn't even eat it. Even though it was firm, the texture reminded me of eggs so maybe putting it in eggs would be a perfect match. I'd love to like tofu but I haven't given it another chance. If your egg dish is good, I think I'll have to try it again. |
We have a favorite resturant that serves three different Asian foods and they use tofu in some. One that I especially like is wonton soup with sprouts and fried tofu. I wonder if there may be a cook book out that gives only tofu recipes? |

I sprayed my skillet w/ some olive oil (I put my olive oil and canola oil in spray bottles now - that way, I don't use that much). I did 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites (some are now saying the whole egg is good for you and others are still saying just do the whites). I put some frozen spinach in it (use to do fresh, but w/ the recent scare of fresh spinach, we started buying frozen) and I cut up quiet abit of my tofu and tossed it in there while everything was all cooking together. I used my pepper mill for some freshly ground black pepper and my new sea salt grinder too! Served w/ a slice of 100% whole wheat bread and it was WONDERFUL!!! Couldn't even taste the tofu at all! I guess it really does take on the flavor of the other ingredients. I have to be honest, I told myself that I would not taste it or smell it before I ate it. So I didn't - I guess I was afraid it would be gross! Anyway, we loved it! Nikki, you might have to try it this way - if you don't like spinach, you don't have to add it, but it was yummy!!! |
I am definitely going to try this. I LOVE spinach so as long as you can't taste the tofu, I'll love it. Thanks for posting the review!:) |

I wanted to add: my daughter didn't even know I had put tofu in it, until she was taking out the trash and seen the container. She was like "are you have tofu for lunch?" - I told her that we already had some! She couldn't believe it! She is like my husband, a very picky eater.....so, if she ate it and liked it and didn't even notice....I think you would like it too. Let me know if you try it and how you like it! Still on the hunt for some good tofu recipes too! |
Another great use for tofu! Since I had it open and am wanting to add it to my regular "diet", I thought of another way to use it on my salad today for lunch. I sprayed a small skillet w/ olive oil - I ground up some whole wheat crackers (the low sodium kind) - mixed in some garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper - I cut the tofu into chunks and breaded them w/ the mixture. Put them in the skillet until they were browned and added them to my salad! Wow! Were they good! My daughter thought they were croutons until she bit into one and discovered that they were soft not hard. She liked them!!! YUMMY! I might try w/ different spices too.....just thought I would share. |
