You can steam it but for maximum flavor, marinate it in a sauce before baking or stir-frying it.
Always drain it first and squeeze as much excess water as you can from it by pressing it with a heavy pan. You can freeze drained tofu overnight and then thaw before use to change the texture (more dense and chewy). You can bread tofu and fry it. Toss it in stir-fries. Blend silken tofu into smoothies. Use it as an egg replacer in some baking. Bake it in the oven, grill it for kabobs...the possibilities are endless!
Stir fry the marinated tofu over high heat for no more than five minutes. (Overcooked tofu develops a 'rubbery' texture).
Tofu is very nice fried, microwaved and smoked.
I put it between two dishtowels and two cutting boards and put some weight on top to drain it. Then I slice it and broil it, and eat it with a bit of honey.
