| At HMart they sell pre-cooked fried tofu next to the regular tofu and it’s really good. I put in stir fry, on bibimbap, in gimbap, rice, etc. |

An easy one I do for my kids is sprinkle strips of tofu with garam masala and bake. But my absolute favorite is tofu with a peanut sauce a la this recipe https://pinchofyum.com/sesame-zoodles
I only use half the sauce amount in that recipe - it is delicious but super filling if you make it with the recommended 1/2 cup of peanut butter. I prefer a little less of the sauce. So good though |

| Mapo tofu is great. I think Just One Cookbook (YouTube) has a good recipe for this. |

| Tofu scramble and tofu salad are also great. I don’t use a recipe, but would suggest any by post punk kitchen (Isa Moskowitz site/cookbooks) |

I make this for a quick lunch periodically. I take about 1/3 of a regular box of tofu, squeeze it between two small cutting boards to get excess water out. Toss in a tupperware bowl with about 1 TBSP of cornstarch, close and shake to cover. Put about 1-2 TBSP of olive oil (enough to cover bottom of medium skillet). When oil shimmers, put the tofu cubes in, let pan fry for about 2-3 minutes until light brown, turn the cubes to fry the other side. When both sides are browned, push the tofu to one side, then add in some frozen broccoli (you can microwave the broccoli for 30-60 seconds to thaw if you prefer), some teriyaki sauce (about 1 TBSP), some Hoisin sauce (about 1TBSP). I like to add about 1 tsp of garlic chili paste, but that's optional. Then I toss on top of a Simply Asian Spicy Mongolian noodle bowl (which takes 90 seconds to cook). I usually put the noodle bowl into the microwave about when I turn the tofu and they are ready about the same time. Simply Asia has a lot of flavors that will work, but the Spicy Mongolian is my personal favorite.
It takes about 10 minutes from start to finish to cook this.

This Smitten Kitchen recipe which is an adaptation of an Ottolenghi recipe that i loved but took SO long to make, so I now greatly prefer the SK version, which is much quicker. The original had a lot more heat to it, so if you like that don't be afraid to add more chilli and black pepper
