Tofu is now a top-five item on my grocery list and my favorite source of high-quality protein, easily surpassing eggs (not surprising these days) for its affordability and versatility. I like to keep at least two types in my fridge at all times for flexible cooking options, so I can make mapo tofu with soft silken curds, crispy stir-fried firm tofu with vegetables, or a simple sheet pan dinner. No matter the style or texture—whether it’s paired with another protein like meat or eggs or on its own—tofu is wonderfully adaptable and the ideal vehicle for a wide range of flavors.
I’ve assembled some of our favorite easy tofu recipes, many of which come together in less than 20 minutes, so they’re perfect for a weeknight dinner or quick lunch. Whether you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet or are looking to eat less meat or stretch it out with a plant-based protein, these recipes just might have you browsing the tofu aisle more often.
