Tofu is also called soybean curd as it’s made from coagulated soy milk.
There are a few types of tofu:
- रेशमी – Silken tofu has a very soft consistency that crumbles easily. It’s moister as it’s not pressed.
- नरम – Soft tofu is similar to silken tofu but is a slightly pressed tofu to make it drier.
- फर्म – Firm tofu is much harder than soft tofu as is pre-pressed. It’s perfect for savory tofu recipes.
- अतिरिक्त फर्म – Extra-firm tofu is the hardest, driest kind of tofu. It’s perfect to make meat-like recipes.
How To Cook Tofu For Beginners
Tofu can be cooked in many ways and even be eaten raw. Here are my favorite:
- पकाना: Tofu can be baked in the oven like you would bake potatoes. It dries up and turns crispy on the outside.
- तली हुई पैन: Pan-fried tofu keeps the texture of tofu blocks a bit moister inside than oven baking it. It’s a great way of cooking crumbled tofu to make a टोफू हाथापाई.
- Air Frier: Tofu cooks really well in an air frier as long as you don’t make the pieces too small. It’s no suitable to cook crumbled tofu for example, but air fryer tofu is deliciously crispy.
- कच्चा: Tofu is safe to eat raw and can be used to make cheese-like preparations like my शाकाहारी पनीर या मेरा टोफू मूस.
What To Pair With Tofu
Tofu is a relatively neutral ingredient that gets its texture from the way you cook it (see above) and its taste from the marinade, sauce, or spices you use.
It’s something that can therefore be accommodated to everyone’s taste easily, from chocolatey sweet desserts to Asian-inspired dinners.
My favorite ways of pairing a tofu dish are:
- Chocolate – to make टोफू मूस
- Spices, Sriracha, Maple Syrup – to make सिचुआन टोफू
- Fresh Veggies like green onions, green bell pepper, edamame, and zucchini – for a Vegan Tofu Stir Fry
- With Rice and a Vegan Naan
- और बहुत सारे!
