Hello tofu lovers! We’ve rounded up the best tofu recipes.
We made sure that they were healthy, simple, and great for any meal - especially for busy weekday dinner planning (we’ve got breakfast and lunch covered, too).
We’ve got everything from air fryer recipes, soups & stew, healthy dinner meals, Indian-inspired dishes, and kid-friendly options.
Tofu, also known as “bean curd” is made by coagulating soy milk, which is then pressed into a solid block. There are different types of consistencies and textures of tofu, including silken, regular, firm, extra-firm, and super-firm. The softest texture is silken and the “meatier” texture is super-firm.
They are all bland or mild in flavor and pick up the spices, marinades, and sauces given to them. Frozen then thawed tofu creates a porous block, which makes it easier to soak up the flavors. “Chicken flavored” tofu is one of my favorite ways to go when using frozen tofu.
If you’re looking for a good deal on tofu, my best finds have been from local Asian grocery stores. Or, you can make tofu yourself. You can even take a trip out to Trader Joe’s for the extra-firm variety.
If you’re looking for more of a reason to love tofu, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) 100 grams of raw, firm tofu has 144 calories, 17.3 grams of protein, and 8 grams of fat, and 2 grams of carbohydrates. Tofu also has a significant amount of potassium, selenium, folate, and vitamin A.
