Delicious TV - Totally Vegetarian : Episode 1: Throw a Mediterranean Party : Tofu Bites

Tofu Bites

I always have a package or two of firm tofu in my freezer, so a perfect replacement for beef or chicken in any recipe is just a quick thaw away! Freezing tofu is an easy way to give the tofu the texture and flavor people crave. This is a great finger food that children love. Easy, delicious and a terrific way to get soy into your diet. This is sure to become a family favorite.

To firm up tofu, freeze, thaw and gently squeeze out the liquid. Your tofu is now ready to use! Marinade, grill, fry, batter dip or use in place of cheese the choice is yours!

1 (or more) T. soy or tamari sauce
