So uh, in the nicest way possible, I don’t recommend the Western methods people suggested here. Like I’m genuinely not trying to be a hater, maybe I’m the weird one but I don’t think anyone presses store bought tofu lmao.
Try Asian preparations. Tofu does, in fact, have incredible flavor. Simply slice some firm tofu into… slices, pan fry until golden, black pepper, dip into a mix of soy sauce and sesame oil and chopped green onions and crushed sesame seeds.
Make Mapo tofu, or some sundubu guk/jigae.
Crumb down some soft/med tofu, mash it into some steamed or raw broccoli, maybe a lil salt or oil dressing if your choice. Ratio is very light, think broccoli coated with tofu and not a tofu salad.
The culinary possibilities are endless and very easy and the Western culinary tradition is just not very good with it to be completely honest.
Take some miso or daenjang, tofu, and water. You got a stew going. Add whatever you like.
Take the above pan fried tofu. Some lettuce. Make a lettuce wrap with ssamjang. Some cucumbers maybe. Some kimchi.
