What it is

How people cook with it
Tofu is a versatile ingredient that can be prepared in many ways. It can be a centerpiece in a meal or a supporting element.
- Marinated and baked
- Scrambled for breakfast
- Added to stir-fries
- Cubed in soups
To prepare this firm tofu, you can begin by pressing it to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving a better texture, especially when you want it to crisp up. Once pressed, it can be cut into cubes, slices, or crumbles. Marinating the tofu allows it to absorb flavors from sauces, herbs, and spices. It can then be pan-fried, baked, grilled, or added directly to dishes like curries and stews. Its firm nature means it holds its shape well during cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
This firm tofu differs from silken or soft tofu in its water content and texture. Its firmness allows it to be handled and cooked without easily breaking apart, making it ideal for dishes where the tofu needs to maintain its form, unlike softer varieties which are better suited for blending into sauces or desserts.
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 to keep it fresh. It is best consumed within a few days of opening. Ensure it is kept chilled at all times.
