Stir fry
A lot of times I think the problem is trying to substitute the protein in a dish with tofu or something vegan. It's always going to be compared to the meat version. Should just try to find recipes that were tofu based to begin with, like mapo tofu.
I love meat, but some do the best dishes my partner and I have ever made are vegan, and fried tofu is a staple.
We have friends who are vegan or have very strange allergies and have to cook for a mixed crowd
Banger meals, seriously
I tried different recipes, but most of them were underwhelming, like the meal would be kinda the same without.
Stir fry how? Which type of tofu, pressed? And probably dipped in cornstarch?
Tofu doesn't really bring taste, just texture so that's kinda to be expected. That's why I typically get firm or extra firm. I like those textures over softer ones.
I'm not sure what you mean by pressed as all tofu is pressed. That's how tofu is made. I've never tried dipping it in cornstarch so IDK how that would turn out. I don't typically do anything other than cut it up and cook it.
As for how to stir fry; I suggest looking that up. You mostly just use whatever veg and protein you want and add some stir fry sauce at the end. I haven't really found one I prefer. I don't do stir fry all that often. I really should since it's super simple.
Extra firm+fried in oil has never NOT been a hit for me! Generally sesame or strangely peanut butter has killed it among my non-veg friends, trying to make a dish for both non-veg and vegan friends.
"Pressed" tofu usually refers to firm or extra firm tofu that is then put under much higher pressure to expel not only more water but also most of the air, and has a completely different texture.
Usually using something like this
