Tofu is a solid; oil is a liquid. Tofu isn’t a fat or shortening ….. so, no. I like to slice extra-firm into 4 thick slices; rub with olive oil; sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano & rosemary and BBQ on all sides until golden. You can cut either into pieces and add to chili, soup or even spaghetti sauce. It may act as a slight thickener…. It’s also good in stir-fries
