Default How to best use Tofu now that I can make it?

I recently bought a nice little wooden tofu box, it was a little
pricey but it's so easy to make when you have a soymilk maker. Just
"curdle" the hot soymilk with nigari or warmed epsom salts in water,
and then put into the tofu box that's been lined with cheesecloth, and
put a big water bottle on top for some weight. I leave mine in the
sink. It's a really easy way to make tofu.
The thing is....I'm really not all that used to making things with
tofu. Whenever I try to stir fry it, it just falls apart, even when
I've tried to get most of the water out with the weight on top. I like
things to be firm and substantial. I have some I've frozen, some
people tell me that's the answer, but I haven't tried making anything
with it yet.
I do like the taste of baked tofu, but haven't tried making that.
Anyway....I guess I just haven't found lots of appetizing ways to
prepare tofu, so it's like I have an easy way to make the fresh tofu,
but don't know what to do with it! I want to make things with a lot of
flavor.
Suggestions, anyone?
