Scallions, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, chicken broth <optional> stirr fried.

Sauces, anywhere you would use cottage cheese, sour cream (add lemon/lime juice for tartness), or mayo.

No. It can be eaten raw. But apparently, if it's not in an airtight box, you have to be careful.

I'm part Chinese and I've always eaten it like how spatts does, but it is an acquired taste. I also slice and marinade it then fry it in a non-stick or lightly sprayed pan.

There's several types of tofu, two are firm and soft. The firm can be cooked/sliced and incorporated in any dish because it absorbs the sauce that it's cooked in. The soft tofu can be crumbled or blended into recipes like smoothies or made into patties. Sorry I don't have any recipes, but I hope any of this helps.
