Once they're nice and crisp, drain them on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. They're very tasty as is, but if you want to add them to a meal. Another variation is cut the tofu in cubes before frying, which really good when tossed into a salad or just eaten as is. I also make tofu "bacon" once in while, which is really easy.

If you have an Asian market in your area, you can find a lot of tofu variations. In the refrigerated section, look for tofu noodles, which look sort of like rubber bands and have a texture similar to linguine. Another good choice is dried yuba, which are nice and chewy when you add them to a stir-fry. Also try inari, which is basically a block of fried tofu that looks sort of like a knish, but the inside is hollow so you can fill it with rice and veggies.

Thank you. Good ideas. Too soon to rep you again.

I bet the fried tofu triangles is what I saw the guy eating at the writer's retreat.

I'm in Jersey. There's got to be an Asian market near me.

I personally love the 'mush' of tofu. For a much more textured version, try freezing it. How to Freeze Tofu

I make butternut squash and apple curry soup. Usually 2 squashes, peeled and cubed into a pot, 2 apples cubed, about an inch of ginger grated in, cover in water and cook until soft, add some salt and curry powder to taste, put it into a blender in batches to puree, add more water if needed or coconut milk if you like.

I put it into a hot togo cup and can have some at work during the day when I get the munchies.
