Salmon quiche
Recipe from Brunon Albouze on yt

Fresh salmon, smoked salmon, feta, onions, broccoli. Quiche sauce seasoned with nutmeg, salt, pepper and freshly chopped rosemary and thyme.

Basic shortcrust pastry with butter, egg, salt, water and flour.

Great combination of textures and flavors. Served with salad. Grapes for dessert.

I never had Tofu before. My idea of tofu was like the old joke: " Buy tofu, dump in garbage, cook a steak."

Not fair for sure so I decided to try it. I made a "beginner's recipe" egg free salad on a French baguette that I just baked.

My thoughts:

Ease of preparation: A
Taste: B+
Texture: D

I might give it another try in a seafood chowder where the texture might match some of the Bivalvia's.

Give it another try. Remember that tofu is bean curd. It is not like any other food item.

Toss it in a veggie stiry fry and season with Tamari.

Try frying the tofu in oil, I like sesame oil. EVOO, or any high temp oil (canola, grapeseed, peanut, sunflower) also work.

So there's a couple of Thai places near me and I eat at one of them at least once a week.
I really enjoy their Tofu Thai Fried Rice.
I can confirm that stir frying it in some type of oil and topping it with soy sauce, Delicious!
Frying also helps with the texture.

My daughter loves Tofu. Crispy fried is delicious.

I don't think the Better Half (aka the Chef) would let me bring one in the house

Not as good as my homemade one but the best store bought, bar none.

You have the extra firm, so that's a good start. Wrap in a paper towel or cotton kitchen cloth and squeeze out as much water as you can without going crazy on it. Chop into cubes and coat in corn starch by tossing the tofu cubes in a bowl with the CS. Then fry in some sort of oil until lightly browned. I just use vegetable oil. Then add whatever sauce you want.

An easy sauce to make is a 1/4 cup Tamari or soy with a Tbsp of brown sugar dissolved in it. Saute up some chopped scallions and shallots, then add in the browned tofu and dump the sauce on everything. Add in a good helping of black pepper (everyone's taste is different here, so go with what you think your tolerance level is). Let it thicken for a bit, then serve over rice with a side of baby bok choy or some other green veggie.

FWIW, I'm super picky when it comes to tofu texture. Wifey likes tofu dishes at the local Thai place, but I don't. Their tofu is too mushy. Different brands of tofu will have different textures as well, even if they both say Extra Firm.
