Tofu Recipes

Tofu is a versatile plant-based protein made from soybeans, prized for its mild flavor and ability to absorb marinades, sauces, and spices. It works in quick weeknight stir-fries, crispy baked dishes, soups, curries, salads, noodle bowls, and even creamy desserts.

Different textures suit different recipes: silken tofu blends smoothly into dressings, sauces, smoothies, and puddings, while firm and extra-firm tofu hold their shape for pan-frying, grilling, roasting, and simmering. Pressing tofu before cooking helps remove excess moisture, giving it a firmer bite and better browning.

Because tofu is neutral and protein-rich, it is ideal for recipes that rely on bold seasonings like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chili crisp, miso, curry paste, sesame oil, and fresh herbs. It can be crisp, creamy, chewy, or tender depending on how it is prepared.
