On our last trip to the Asian market, we picked up a package of Shredded Tofu. Mind you it just looks like a giant slab of smoked tofu....and once opened it smelled and tasted like it was smoked as well, but it actually looks like it shredded and then pressed together. And since it is a fairly big package we can get at least 2 meals out of it!!! Frugal, Frugal....
The possibilities are endless!I grilled it in the panini grill/press for a wee bit, and then off to the oven with some BBQ sauce, and green onion.
And the inside shot!
and one more...
As a side I made "sorta" stuffed potatoes, nuked for a few minutes to get them softened up, then cut in half. A little margarine, green onion, and cheese, and smoke paprika. Into the oven they went!! They turned out quite good. But then again it's a potato!! They can't be bad, and yes I LOVE potatoes!
Back to the tofu for a moment, I think it would be great for something fishy....meaning it would be great for fish sticks...Based on texture alone....Just bread it and fry it....There you go Pappi you can have your fish sticks!!!

Well, that's kind of interesting. Where is this Asian market you speak of? There is and Asian store in Burlington, but I've never been. I should maybe check it out. Can you get the shredded tofu in a non-smoked version or is that it? I'm quite intrigued as you can tell. :o)
It was so good!! I don't think it's actually smoked, i think it's just the "sauce" they put on it. But from what I remember there was a plain one as well. The store we went to is in Hamilton, it's on Cannon between Bay and James. The Burlington store, is that the one on Fairview, because that's where we got the dried bean curd! But yeah, the shredded tofu is quite good!! I think you'll like it!!!
