5. Baked and marinated tofu recipes
These recies are all about the tofu. Baked tofu, marinated tofu, tofu in sauce and fried tofu! Most of these tofu recipes, however, are not a full entree or meal on their own. You'll want to pair them with rice or noodles, or toss them into a salad or stir-fry.

6. Tofu desserts
When making desserts using tofu, most recipes will call for silken tofu, rather than firm or extra-firm tofu. This makes a big difference, so be sure you've got the right kind! Though it may seem a bit odd to make creamy desserts out of soy bean curd, the tofu usually just acts as a carrier for all the other amazing flavors, in place of dairy, or heavy cream.
