How people cook with it
This tofu can be prepared in many ways, from simple pan-frying to incorporating it into more complex meals.
- Marinated and pan-fried
- Cubed in stir-fries
- Crumbled into scrambles
- Added to soups
Before cooking, it is often beneficial to press the tofu to remove excess water. This allows it to absorb marinades more effectively and achieve a crispier texture when pan-fried or baked. For stir-fries, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes and add it towards the end of cooking to prevent it from breaking apart. When crumbling, use your hands or a fork to break it down, similar to ground meat, for use in scrambles or as a filling.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional firm tofu, this black soybean variety has a slightly denser texture and a more pronounced, earthy flavor due to the use of black soybeans. Its color is also a distinctive dark hue, which can add visual interest to dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the tofu in an airtight container submerged in water in the refrigerator. Change the water daily to keep it fresh. It is best to consume the remaining tofu within 3 to 5 days.
