Do any non-vegetarians use tofu? (ingredients, skillet, healthy, broil)

[Cnote11]

Yes, I make a lot of tofu dishes. Sometimes I will use meat and tofu in the same dish.

Spicy tofu, and add peas; they bring out the flavour of the sauce; usually Thai sweet chili sauce. Yes!!
Or toast it with your propane torch to add a little crunch!!

If using in a stirfry i'll marinate the tofu cubes for a few hours.
Tofu in Miso soup is a must however i use the firm instead of the silken...
From Jamie Oliver=

• 500ml dashi (Japanese stock) or good-quality fish stock
• 1 tbsp white miso
• 1 tbsp dark miso
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 4 spring onions, finely sliced
• 4 asparagus spears, finely sliced
• 200g silken tofu, cubed
• Dried nori or wakame seaweed

Place the dashi stock in a large saucepan and bring it to the boil. Turn the heat to low then add the seaweed and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Stir in the miso and mirin, making sure it’s fully dissolved – be careful not to boil the miso because it changes the flavour. Add the spring onion, asparagus and tofu, then gently heat through and serve.

Plus, I heard it will give you moobies if you eat too much.

It doesn't taste like much until you do something with it. Tofu isn't slimy; snails in the garden are slimy.

I like to freeze, thaw, press for texture.

I use it in my hot & sour soup that also has pork.

Never. Not once in my entire life have I ever cooked with tofu.

When I was in China tofu was made in many different styles and was a great part of the Chinese diet. But as written above it isn't a substitute for meat in China.

I'm a tofu sculptor by trade and thus use it extensively in my artwork.

No, soy is bad for you IMO. Pass.
