High Protein Tofu
What it is
This is a firm block of tofu made from organic soybeans. It has a denser texture and a higher concentration of soy solids compared to regular tofu. This characteristic makes it a substantial ingredient in many dishes. It is a versatile plant-based food that absorbs flavors well. It is a good choice for those seeking a more filling tofu option.
How people cook with it
Tofu is a staple in many cuisines, prized for its ability to take on the flavors of marinades and sauces.
- Marinated and grilled
- Scrambled in place of eggs
- Cubed in stir-fries
- Added to soups
Before cooking, it is often pressed to remove excess water, which helps it achieve a firmer texture and absorb marinades more effectively. This can be done using a tofu press or by wrapping the block in paper towels and placing a heavy object on top. Once pressed, it can be sliced, cubed, or crumbled. It fries well, becoming crispy on the outside. It also bakes beautifully, especially when coated in a flavorful sauce or seasoning. Its neutral taste makes it a blank canvas for a wide range of culinary creations.
How it differs from similar foods
It contains less water, resulting in a more substantial bite and a less delicate texture. This makes it ideal for applications where a more robust ingredient is desired.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
