I’ve gathered 12 of my favorite easy tofu recipes — each one simple, flavorful, and approachable. Most of these dishes come together in 30 minutes or less and use everyday ingredients, making them ideal for weeknight dinners (and there’s even a breakfast!). They’re perfect if you’re new to cooking with tofu or just want quick, satisfying meals.
If you’re new to tofu, a few basics are helpful. I’ve written a complete guide to cooking tofu that covers how to cut and prep it, the different types available, and tips to get the best texture and flavor. There’s also a post explaining why pressing tofu matters and showing easy methods to press it with or without a tofu press. Most recipes below work best with pressed tofu, so check those notes if you haven’t pressed it before.
