Diabetic recipes with tofu?

I would like to have diabetic friendly recipes that use tofu. I have never used tofu before, and I am intrested in adding it to my diet. My diet mostly consists of lean meats (turkey, chicken, shrimp), fruits, and vegetables. No pasta, no rice, no potatoes, and no breads. I'm just not sure how to cook tofu. I do make lots of vegetable soups and salads. Thanks for all your help!Diabetic recipes with tofu?
Here is a link to the Mayo Clinic on how a vegetarian diet can help control diabetes.

Tofu is easy to use. It comes in soft to extra firm. It can be marinated in soy sauce or other sauces and baked at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. You can use it in a zillion ways, whatever you can imagine. It can be used in salads, as a main dish, in soup, as an unsweetened dessert with pine nuts and fruits.

Also look in cook books at your local library for tofu, vegetarian, and diabetic recipes.

Tofu has to be cut into thin slices. Then you pat it down with a towel to remove all the water. Afterwards, you fry the tofu. Once it is fried, you create a sauce. I like to use 4 tablespoons of bbq sauce with 2 ketchup packets, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 4 spoons of brown sugar, water, and 2 shakes of cayene pepper.



You then put the tofu into the sauce and let the sauce thicken up for about 5 minutes.



Since you are diabetic, you could substitute the brown sugar with diet sugar and reduce the amount of ketchup and BBQ sauce you use.



PS-Chinese restaurants also make Sesame tofu and General Tso's tofu. You can substitute the rice with steamed vegetables, since you are diabetic and share some of the tofu with someone you know.
