10 Easy Tofu Recipe Ideas (and how to prep tofu)

Cook Time: 20

Servings:

To start, check the tofu recipe you are making to see if extra time is required for pressing. If so you can press the tofu up to a few days in advance then store it in the refrigerator wrapped in paper towelling until ready to use.
If you are marinating tofu, get it started first. Then prepare the other recipe ingredients so everything is ready at the same time.
Once the tofu block is drained and pressed (if needed), your meal will be ready to enjoy in ~ 20 minutes.

Meal Prep: These tofu recipes are easily doubled to be enjoyed all week in lunches and dinners.
Million Dollar Tip: Remember, don't overcook the tofu as that makes it dry and rubbery which is not good.
Pressing Tofu: Don't press every drop of liquid out of the tofu because that makes it dry and crumbly (see my tofu 101 guide for a deep dive into tofu prep).
Buying tofu: Choose organic, non GMO tofu if available. Find tofu in the produce section or refrigerated aisle at most grocery stores.
