Simple Truth Organic Soft Silken Tofu
What it is
This is a package of soft silken tofu, a plant-based food made from soybeans. It has a very smooth and delicate texture, almost like a custard. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. The tofu is organic and comes in a 16-ounce container.
How people cook with it
Soft silken tofu is excellent for blending into smooth textures or for dishes where a delicate mouthfeel is desired.
- Smoothies and shakes
- Creamy sauces
- Desserts
- Soups
To use, simply open the package and drain any excess liquid. Soft silken tofu can be gently stirred into hot soups or blended into cold beverages. It is also a good base for making dairy-free desserts like puddings or cheesecakes. For savory applications, it can be added to stir-fries towards the end of cooking to maintain its soft texture, or blended into dips and dressings for a creamy consistency. Its mild flavor allows it to absorb the tastes of other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike firm or extra-firm tofu, soft silken tofu holds very little water and crumbles easily. Its delicate structure means it is not suitable for frying or grilling as it will break apart. It is best suited for applications where its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth quality can be appreciated.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a plant-based ingredient for smooth textures will find this tofu useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused tofu in an airtight container submerged in water in the refrigerator. Change the water daily. It should be used within a few days for optimal freshness and quality.
