Tofu Isobe-yaki
I tried making this Japanese isobe-yaki with tofu instead of mochi as a diet-friendly food.The tofu that I use is heavy and firm so I don't need to drain the tofu. However, Japanese firm tofu is soft, so it might be easier to handle if the tofu is drained. I think it would taste good if you substituted the cheese with other things such as ham, tuna and mentaiko. However, the flavor of the melted cheese is really good, so I really recommend that you use it. Recipe by Spain


Simple Tofu Black Sesame Blancmange
This is a variation of my "Simple! Tofu No-Bake Cheesecake".When you chill these desserts they will go a little hard.

These desserts don't keep for long so please eat them on the same day or morning after.This blancmange should taste rich thanks to the black sesame paste yet still retain a refreshing blancmange flavour.

Egg Scramble with Onion & Silken Tofu
I used healthy tofu in place of chicken for "oyakodon" (chicken & egg rice bowl).Since tofu has a lot of moisture, if the taste becomes diluted, add soy sauce for flavor.

This is a light tofu dish, but if you use meat instead, it'll become a rich dish. Recipe by Cookie13

Easy Tofu and Bok Choy Stir Fry with Szechuan Pepper
I really wanted to use Szechuan pepper.Adjust the amount of water depending on the water content of the tofu. If you let the tofu boil, the texture will change for the worse, so be careful.

For 4 servings. Recipe by Asamato
