Getting them to understand plain tofu has a similar taste as egg whites. I had them choose the flavors to add. Then I cooked the tofu & egg whites in similar way. After a blind taste test, family likes tofu.


Looks like I need to pick up some tofu for my air fryer.

You could never get me to eat tofu plus I hate egg whites so I know i won't like tofu.

That conversion was done before I had an air fryer. So I prepared it the "hard way" in a pan.
Cubed it, fried it with sauce, cut it down to "egg white" appearance, then served.

If I can get some ground meat I like, I think I'll try a air fryer meatloaf.

What did you do to it? I'm not sure I know what that means?

That just didn't look appealing to me. I doubt I would want to try tofu again either if that's how it was introduced to me.

I tried again with a soft tofu, but it wasn't the right one either. As is, this tofu is better suited in soup recipes. Still, after air fried it tastes very good with a crunchy exterior and soft inside.

Non-GMO and made in the USA. Now I know not everything is made in China (not yet anyway) LOL.


Taste better than they look. I am going to use them in spring rolls for lunch.

Idk, it just looks slimy and gross to me. I'm also not a fan of scrambled eggs so maybe that's why.

TJ's has really good super firm tofu. I put it right on the grill. Doesn't fall through like other tofu.
You can also grill those spring rolls!
