Sainsbury's Super Firm Smoked Tofu
What it is
This is a block of firm tofu that has been smoked. The smoking process gives it a distinct flavor and a firmer texture compared to regular tofu. It is ready to eat and can be used in many dishes. The super firm nature means it holds its shape well when cooked.
How people cook with it
Smoked tofu is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a wide variety of meals. Its pre-cooked and flavored nature makes it a convenient choice for quick preparations.
- Cubed in stir-fries
- Sliced in sandwiches
- Crumbled into scrambles
- Added to salads
You can use this smoked tofu straight from the package, or you can cook it further to enhance its flavor and texture. For stir-fries, cube it and add it towards the end of cooking to warm through and absorb the sauce. In sandwiches, slice it thinly and enjoy it cold. For a plant-based scramble, crumble the tofu and sauté it with vegetables and spices. It also works well added to pasta dishes or baked into casseroles. The smoky taste complements many savory flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular silken or soft tofu, this super firm variety has a much denser texture and does not require pressing. The smoking process also imparts a savory, umami flavor that is absent in unsmoked tofu, making it a flavorful addition without extra seasoning.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused portion in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept chilled at all times.
