Pre "broiled" packaged Tofu - What do I do with it?

Question

Last time I was at the Japanese Supermarket I somehow bought this "broiled" packaged tofu. It's got black markings on it as to show how "broiled" it is. I'm not sure what I bought it for.... It looked interesting. Now I'm scared of it! What should I do with it? Any ideas?

Answer

Is it vacuum packed or in a tub of water? I’ve bought that before and it’s basically just tofu with some grill marks that are pretty but don’t impact the flavor much. 
You can use it for any tofu dish you like- if it’s vacuum packed then there’s no need to press it. A few of my favorites: 

Tofu triangles in peanut buttery sauce- note there is a mistake in the recipe and soy sauce should be 2TB, NOT the amount in this link. Definitely best with peanut butter. Great with some rice and steamed green beans or whatever veg

Great in saag paneer

And of course stir fry, mapo tofu, scrambled, baked, etc...
