Re: Tofu question

It depends largely on what the purpose of the tofu is. If it is just to add body, you can easily sub tapioca or flax. Let me know the recipes you are mainly interested in, and perhaps I can offer some alternatives. I am highly allergic to soy, so have come up with plenty of subs over the years.From: Cat Lady <busresponsible@...>Subject: Tofu questionundisclosed-recipients@...Date: Tuesday, February 1, 2011, 2:40 PM

Some of the recipes in theVitamix book call for 3 ounces of tofu and I believe it's soft tofu. Have been told not to freeze soft tofu so rather than buy 14oz, use 3 and throw the rest out, what could I substitute.

FYI, you don't have to throw out the tofu--it can be kept (completely

submerged) in water under refrigeration for at least several days. You

have to remember to change the water daily, though.

You're right about that, I remember now, but still, just don't eat enough to use that much up within the several days time, just one person here.lol Was better when my children and grandchildren were around to eat stuff up.lol

Maybe I could just make several batches and freeze stuff. I do freeze regular firm tofu to get the texture.

Vitamix book page 70 cream of spinach soup calls for 3 oz of tofu and carrot ginger tofu soup on page 62 calls for 1/3 C of silken tofu.

Thank you

I personally would use raw yogurt in place of the tofu in both of those recipes, or just some fresh cheese. A dollop of fresh sour cream would be lovely too-stirred in after blending.___

Thank you, I have some Greek yogurt in my fridge.
