NW Tofu Spice Firm Tofu
What it is
This is firm tofu that has been infused with a blend of spices during its production. The spices are incorporated directly into the tofu, giving it a savory and slightly seasoned flavor profile even before cooking. The texture is denser than silken or soft tofu, making it suitable for a variety of culinary applications where a more substantial bite is desired.
How people cook with it

- Stir-fries

- Soups
You can use this spice firm tofu directly from the package in many recipes. For stir-fries, simply cut it into cubes or slices and add it to your pan with vegetables and sauce. It can also be pan-fried until golden brown for a crispy exterior. If you prefer a softer texture, it can be added to soups or stews towards the end of cooking. Some people enjoy marinating it further to enhance the existing spice notes or introduce new flavors. It absorbs marinades well due to its firm texture.

Unlike plain firm tofu, this product comes pre-seasoned with a spice blend. This means it offers an immediate flavor boost without the need for additional marinating or seasoning steps, saving preparation time. Its firm texture is similar to other firm tofu varieties, making it versatile for cooking.
