Tofu is truly versatile. Light on flavor in the best way possible, it soaks up whatever ingredients you cleverly pair it with, from spicy to salty to sweet to tart. Treat it as a wonderfully-textured blank canvas: You can grill, fry, or bake firm tofu as a stand-in for meat or purée silken tofu as a substitute for dairy or eggs. In our favorite tofu recipes, however, this wonderful block of soy isn’t simply a stand-in—it’s a star. Try these 15 dishes that feature tofu as a headline ingredient.
1. Crispy Pan-Fried Tofu With Soy-Scallion Sauce
Here, crispy tofu serves as a neutral base for a concentrated, super-flavorful sauce made with gochugaru, soy sauce, honey, and a whole lot of scallions. Inspired by both Japanese agedashi tofu and the Korean-style pan-fried tofu she ate growing up, recipe developer Joy Cho says that all you need is a bowl of rice to complete this simple, budget-friendly meal.
