Tofu is nutritious, versatile, and cheap.  Once in a while, I will throw some tofu on a grill and pair it with either rice or noodles.

There is some prep work involved in this.  Since tofu contains a high amount of water, it has to be somewhat dried out before cooking.  To do this, cut the tofu into slices and place the slices on a thick sheet of paper towels.  After half an hour or so, flip the tofu to the other side.  Then wait another half an hour before cooking.  Marinate with some soy sauce for additional flavor.  15 minutes will do.  The soy sauce will help create some great grill marks on the tofu as well.  Be sure to use firm tofu.

Add some cooking spray to your stove top grill and pre-heat it at medium heat.  Cook each side for 3-4 minutes.

The tofu dish pictured above probably cost me less than $1.00 to make.
