I just bought my first package of tofu (I bought the firm type) but I don't know how to fix it. I know that what ever it is mixed with it picks up those flavors. Other than that, I'm lost. I will start the purée stage this week and decided now would be a good time to explore new food options. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My mom cooked with tofu (that is before her major stroke almost 2 yrs ago which landed her in a nursing home that doesn't do tofu) frequently. You're right, it picks up the flavors of whatever it's cooked with (like a sponge) and to me, it actually tastes like a sponge. I don't like soybeans in any way shape or form. Including the elusively "yummy" hummus. Tastes like cat food to me.

But I know many a vegetarian that would starve without it. Good luck cooking!
