I haven't really gotten restaurant quality yet, but it's still good stuff.. let me know if you ever figure it out. I don't usually follow recipes and shit, so I don't really know what I'm talking about - I just wing it until it looks tasty, and it usually is. edit: forgot to mention, usually when the tofu is cooked about 5/6 of the way through I'll add any noodles/vegetables, because the tofu is going to continue cooking a bit when you're frying the veggies and junk, and I usually like my noodles a bit crisp too. 18561 Post 2009-04-20T17:45:16-04:00 497011 7069 2009-04-20T17:47:01-04:00 as drew mentioned - always get extra firm tofu, anything less than that falls apart so easily into a big pile of mush. ps, totally agree on the square plates, very classy sir 18561 Post 2009-04-20T17:49:56-04:00 497181 884 2009-04-20T17:50:37-04:00 <blockquote><cite>hideouscarwreck said:</cite> as drew mentioned - always get extra firm tofu, anything less than that falls apart so easily into a big pile of mush.</blockquote> false. it really depends on what you are using it for/how you are cooking it. extra firm is the easiest to use as a protein though. 18561 Post 2009-04-20T17:50:42-04:00 497211 67 2009-04-20T17:50:42-04:00 definitely - I like this brand, but any will work: <img src = "http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/17470/06_2009/380f5411c4ac9c16_dai_nasoya_extofu_z.jpg"> 18561 Post 2009-04-20T17:51:34-04:00 497251 7069 2009-04-20T17:51:34-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Joey said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>hideouscarwreck said:</cite> as drew mentioned - always get extra firm tofu, anything less than that falls apart so easily into a big pile of mush.</blockquote> false. it really depends on what you are using it for/how you are cooking it. extra firm is the easiest to use as a protein though.</blockquote> I think she just means in terms of a stir fry like what I was talking about, different types of tofu serve different purposes, and using silken tofu for stir fry was not a good idea. 18561 Post 2009-04-20T17:53:07-04:00 497321 7069 2009-04-20T17:53:07-04:00 <blockquote><cite>ShirtFight.com said:</cite> <blockquote><cite>Joey said:</cite> i super love my ikea grill pan</blockquote> Hey Joey is SWH the official Black Axe chef?
