    My favorite tofu right now, is to freeze extra firm, thaw it, press it, then soak it in pickle juice. Toss it in poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Then air fry. Girl, you got you some chic-fil-a! 😂

    I just used shredded tofu to make my “meaty” pasta sauce. Combined it with chopped mushrooms, chopped red bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Then I added my favorite seasonings and pasta sauce and OMG…it was so good. ❤❤❤
