What does tofu really taste like?

Question

I

Answer 1

fluffy gooey nastiness of ick  

Answer 2

It doesn't really taste like anything. It has a really weak, 'thin' flavor. And it depends on how you cook your tofu. Fried, boiled maybe, or just plain refridgerated tofu.

Answer 3

I really like tofu but to be honest, it's a cross between cheese and nothing. It has a cheesy texture to it but there isn't a real taste to it unless you eat it as a tofu burger or a tofu dog, etc.

You should try some!

Answer 4

it really depends on the brand.   some of it's flavorless...  sometimes it has a cheesey hint to it.. then sometimes it's more beanish in flavor.

go on a venture and experiment trying out different tofu.      

Answer 5

I don't like plain tofu. It tastes kind of like cardboard to me. I eat it with other stuff on it though. It makes a wonderful vehicle for sauce.  

Answer 6

Tofu itself has no taste. But when made into something it transforms into that taste. (i.e desserts, tofu chicken, tofu steak, tofu fillets, tofu cutlets, BBQ tofu, stir-fried tofu, tofu fries, tofu fish, tofu scramble, tofu burgers, tofu cheese, tofu yogurt and ice cream, etc).

Answer 7

it takes on the taste of whatever you put it in or with.  the tofu itself really has no flavor, it's more texture than anything.  but, it's lovely, nonetheless.

Answer 8

Tofu is a veggie sponge, by itself it is almost tasteless. When cooked with other things it absorbs their flavors.

Answer 9

Toffu isn't a stand alone food, it tends to be rather bland... it does absorb flavor quite nicley though
