Tofu Recipe FAQs
Is tofu a good source of protein?
Yes, tofu is high in protein and contains all essential amino acids, making it an excellent choice for plant-based diets.
How do you store tofu?
Store tofu in the fridge, submerged in water if opened, and change the water daily. Freeze tofu for a firmer texture and longer storage.
Can you eat tofu raw?
Yes, tofu can be eaten raw. Silken tofu is great in salads, smoothies, or as a topping for soups.
Is tofu good for meal prep?
Absolutely. Tofu retains its flavour and texture well, making it perfect for batch cooking and storing for up to a week.
How do you make tofu extra crispy?
For extra crispy tofu, press it to remove excess moisture, then toss it in cornstarch before pan-frying, baking, or air-frying at high heat. This creates a golden, crunchy coating.
Can tofu be used in desserts?
Yes! Silken tofu is perfect for desserts like chocolate mousse, cheesecake, or pudding. It adds creaminess without the need for dairy or eggs.
What is the difference between silken and firm tofu?
Silken tofu is soft and creamy, making it ideal for blending into sauces, soups, and desserts. Firm or extra-firm tofu holds its shape better and is suited for grilling, frying, or baking.
Can I freeze tofu to change its texture?
Freezing tofu changes its texture, making it firmer and more porous. This allows it to soak up marinades better and creates a chewy consistency that's great for stir-fries or soups.
