This pre-cubed tofu is ready to use in your favorite recipes. For best results, you can press it further to remove excess water, especially if you want it to crisp up. Marinating the cubes for at least 30 minutes will infuse them with flavor. You can then bake, pan-fry, or add them directly to stews and curries. It is also suitable for grilling or adding to noodle dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Extra firm tofu has a denser texture and contains less water than silken or soft tofu. This makes it ideal for dishes where you want the tofu to maintain its shape and not break apart easily. It is firmer and chewier than softer varieties.
