What's wrong with tofu consumption in the United States is that most Americans use tofu for purposes for which it was never designed (e.g., "tofu burger," "tofu lasagna," "tofu quiche," etc.).
One of the best tofu recipes is also the simplest:
Buy a block of fresh tofu from a tofu store in the neighborhood (an impossibility in Ohio and probably in Maryland, but there may be some tofu stores in California). Cut tofu into bite-size cubes. Chop negi (green onions) fine, & grate shoga (fresh ginger roots), to make a garnish. Put the negi & shoga garnish on top of cubed tofu. (Add katsuobushi [dried bonito flakes] to the garnish if you like.] Pour soy sauce over the tofu garnished with negi & shoga.
This is called hiyayakko -- good to eat on a hot summer day. -- Yoshie
