Tofu is a great source of protein with zero fat content.
Tofu is basically a very bland food which takes on the flavor of whatever you season it with. One recipe I sometimes make at home is scrambled tofu.
Saute onions and peppers in a pan, then add a pound of firm tofu and mash it up. Season to taste with tamari (The top quality soy sauce) and garlic. Add turmeric for coloring if you like. Add a bit of cheese if you like or any other ingredient which you would normally add to an omelet.
If you freeze tofu it gets a nice chewy consistency.
Sometimes I like to freeze it, then press it (cover with a towel in a dish and place a heavy weight on top for an hour.) This gives it a consistency somewhat like meat. Then marinate it and roast or fry it and add it to a stir fry or a salad.
