"Cutlets" and "Un-chicken Chunks"

Freeze Mori-Nu overnight to get a texture similar to that of a light fish filet. Freeze it for several days for a chicken-like texture. Now you can grill, bake and even barbecue Mori-Nu Tofu.

FREEZING DIRECTIONS:

Slice or cube Mori-Nu; wrap each slice in plastic and freeze overnight. Thaw in:

• The microwave, high for 3-4 minutes or
• At room temperature for one hour or
• Overnight in the refrigerator.

Drain and pat dry.

BLENDING:

One box of Mori-Nu makes 1½ cups of pureed tofu. Puree or blend tofu in a food processor or blender. Use for salad dressings, sauces, and soups.

BAKING

When recipe calls for yogurt, sour cream or eggs, use pureed tofu*. When recipes call for buttermilk, soymilk or dairy milk, use the "baking blend" instead of straight pureed tofu for best results.

*5 Tablespoons of pureed tofu equal one egg. To replace liquid ingredients, use same amount of pureed tofu or "baking blend".
