✔️ Flavour: mild, with a neutral soya flavour (tofu generally has no distinctive flavour of its own and absorbs flavours from sauces and spices well).
✔️ Texture: soft and tender, yet firm enough to slice.
Recommended uses:
-
🍲 In soups and broths – tofu adds protein and texture.
-
🍛 In a frying pan – stir-fry with sauce, vegetables or rice.
-
🥗 Cold salads or bowls – tofu mixed with herbs, vegetables and dressing.
-
🍜 Asian recipes – stir-fries, ramen, noodle bowls, etc.
Thanks to its own juices, the tofu is already hydrated and ready for cooking or eating straight away, with no need for preparation.
🧊 Storage
➡️ Keep chilled – if the tofu is chilled/sterilised, store according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually in the fridge; once opened, use as soon as possible).
➡️ Once opened, keep refrigerated and use within a few days for the best flavour and freshness. (You’ll find the exact details on the packaging.)
