    I been addicted to tofu puffs tossed in buffalo sauce, sprinkle with everything bagel seasonings and cooked in the air fryer. Silken tofu is good for tofu scramble too. You freeze it 1st and then squeeze out the liquid and add to a pan with little cashew cream or plant base milk and other seasonings.

    Sadly, I grew up enjoying eating spam - A LOT...and spam musubi was a go-to snack or quick lunch bite. however, being vegan for over a year now, I haven't really thought about how to make a spam musubi replacement - figured I could use extra firm tofu--but it was the marinade that makes a big diff. Mahalo for this recipe - will definitely try since I do have a spam musubi maker but haven't used it in ages. Now I can again!

    If you stack heavy objects ontop of the tofu. It will fall off! I found the best way to press the tofu is to get 2 matching plastic containers. Put the tofu in the bottom container. Fill the 2nd container with water and put the lid on it and place it on top of the tofu. Obviously, don't put the lid on the container holding the tofu.
