Cut into bite size slices or cubes
Marinate in soy sauce or other marinade 10-30 minutes. Gently move to a paper towel to remove excess liquid to avoid excessive splattering. Fry in oil. Add to stir fried or oven roasted veggies for a yummy dinner. Veganricha com has lots of great recipes using tofu also

Crumble and fry with a little taco seasoning or salsa and you can have little street tacos with preferred toppings.
Crumble into a salad
Cube into a cream soup (I’m lazy and just do a cream of chicken refill the can with milk add to the pot and add lots of cheese. After warming add in cubes and carefully stir to avoid smooshing the pieces. Veggies can be added)

mushrooms fry some mushrooms in oil and after washing the tofu and squeezing the moisture out crumble that into the pan as well. Stir round and add a small amount of soy sauce and mild curry powder. The curry powder is mainly for colour. The tofu just needs heating through really. Serve with baked beans for a protein packed supper.
Also cubes of tofu in place of meat in curries and stews are great as tofu really is just a sponge that soaks up all the flavours. Or marinate it before putting into a stir fry.
Tofu & veg stew
Chop the beans carrot & celery. Cover with boiling water & cook until crisp tender. Drain, retaining the stock.
Chop the onion. Saute in the oil for c. 3 mins. Dice the tofu & add it to the pan. Saute for a few minutes longer, stirring frequently. Sprinkle in the flour & stir. Gradually add 70 ml (2/3 cup) of the vegetale stock. Stir until thickened.
Add the soy suace, seasoning and cooked vegetables to the pan. Stir well & simmer, uncovered for 3-4 minutes longer.
Serve with rice or bulgar wheat.
TOFU FINGERS
Serves 4
1-2 x 225 g (8 oz) blocks firm tofu
4 tablespoons plain flour, seasoned with mixed dired herbs
2 organic eggs, beaten with a splash of soy sauce
1-2 slices wholemeal bread, made into breadcrumbs
extra-virgin olive oil or butter (for frying)
Slice the tofu into finger shapes. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg and one with the breadcrumbs. Roll the tofu fingers in the flour first, then the egg and finally in the breacrumbs until well coated.
Fry gently in a little olive oil or butter, turning occasionally for 10-15 minutes
