Curious or confused about the different types of tofu? I’ve got answers! I went to all my local grocery stores, including the Chinese supermarket and a couple Korean grocery stores to find every kind of tofu and tell you all about them.
In this tofu 101 guide, I cover regular vs silken tofu and more. Regular tofu being from soft, medium, firm, to extra firm and pressed (also known as cotton tofu, Chinese-style tofu, or block style tofu. And Silken Tofu (which also comes in soft, firm and extra firm but is super different) being a more delicate form of tofu.
Plus:
– The intricacies of medium-firm tofu and double freezing,
– Smoked tofu,
– Tofu Puffs,
– Specialty tofu that you only usually find at Asian grocery stores like q-tofu, fish-style tofu, tofu noodles, and fermented tofu,
– AND what to do with them!
Never feel lost at the tofu section ever again!
