🥡 Dang Long – Tofu in its own juice 500 g — What is it?

Dang Long Tofu in its own juice is Asian-style tofu, i.e. a soya product made from soya beans and water, traditionally cooked and sterilised in its own juice (brine). It is characterised by a delicate flavour and gentle preparation without strong flavourings, so it can be used both on its own and as an ingredient in various dishes in both Asian and everyday cuisine.

✔️ Flavour: mild, with a neutral soya flavour (tofu generally has no distinctive flavour of its own and absorbs flavours from sauces and spices well).

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.)
