description
Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a versatile and popular plant-based protein derived from soybeans. Its mild flavour and adaptable texture make it a staple in various cuisines around the world. Tofu comes in different firmness levels, ranging from soft to extra firm, each suited for specific uses.
Tofu serves as an excellent canvas for absorbing flavours, making it an ideal ingredient for both savoury and sweet dishes. It can be cubed and stir-fried, grilled, baked, or even blended into creamy sauces and desserts. Tofu’s ability to mimic the consistency of meats has led to its use in vegetarian and vegan recipes, including curries, salads, sandwiches, and scrambles.
