Tofu

How do you make stir-fry with Tofu? You just press the water out and throw it in the pan or what?

Pretty much that's how you do it.

There is also "fried tofu" that already comes with a tougher fried outer layer that has an entirely different texture and is more meaty if that's the texture you want.

it's good to marinate the tofu in something before you throw it in the stir-fry, adds flavor. If you have the extra firm tofu it should just be a matter of chopping it up and throwing it in, without pressing water out.

Yeah, we have extra-firm tofu that I need to cook soon. I don't know if Tofu goes bad, but we've had it for over 2 weeks now. I also have some shrimp, peppers, and onions, so I thought I would throw it all together.

There should be an expiration date on the package. It turns kind of a gross yellow and gets slimy when it's bad. You can also use tofu in sandwiches, like an egg sandwich substitute. Slice, season, toast/fry, cheese, serve.

That and bringing it to room temp before stir frying will keep the tofu from turning into little itty bitty pieces by the time everything is heated through.
