Default tofu? what to do with it?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to turn silken tofu into a potential breakfast? It's getting too hot for cereal and eggs. I'm thinking smoothies. Any recipes?

I'm Asian, so I LOVE tofu--I don't think of it as health food at all.

For a snack I like to steam or microwave a block of silken tofu, and douse it with the following mixture:

Soy sauce
bit of minced garlic
Scallions, chopped
Sesame seeds
A bit of sesame oil
Crushed chili peppers (optional)

For smoothies, mix with splenda sweetened scoop of protein powder and cream. For fruit smoothies, mix with frozen berries, splenda, and cream.

Another dish popular in China is warm silken tofu stirred with ginger syrup--this syrup recipe is actually in the Atkins quick and easy cookbook, although I don't like it. For this syrup, you might try ginger infused splenda maple syrup, but I haven't tried that one.

Hope this helps.

I had an idea today for tofu.....I made up a big batch of pickled eggs last week and right after I finished dumping out the juice from one jar today I had the idea to try pickling tofu cubes the same way. I think it ought to be great, I'll post the results when it's done.

I take the extra firm, bread it(LC), the fry like cheese sticks. It can add volume to eggs, be diced in soups and used in almost every way chicken is. I was mixing silken with baby food, but it seems to give the liyttle one terrible gas.
