It took me a LONG time to figure out how to work with tofu to avoid crumbling, sogginess, etc., but it's worth it! Sometimes I dry fry or bake it for a while first, and someone tipped me off that a brief stint in the microwave also works.

I'm not even a vegetarian, I just lean in that direction. OP, have you checked out Meatless Monday? There are lots of ideas over there. Also, I love epicurious for recipes. The community over there is pretty knowledgable, so if you read comments on the recipes, they generally tell you what variations work and such.

We did a brief stint as vegetarians and now eat meatless twice a week. Tofu is very versatile when used right. I LOVE it. We haven't mentioned squeezing out the water then marinating it in whatever you want since it is a sponge and will take up any flavor.
