This new normal is not helping anybody, particularly people who love to go out. Food and family time is the only thing which is maintaining our sanity. So, with the start of this work from home age (read covid era), my husband is on a major diet change and not preferring carbs. So far, his journey has been amazing. I am trying to create a delicious dishes which not only taste good, but are good for the stomach too. Well, do you love tofu? Guys, I love it now, but I was not always a fan. So, now that I love it, I am creating so many dishes with it. The texture of tofu is like a sponge which absorbs all of these flavours. Mostly, my tofu dishes are Asian inspired, but I do cook Indian food with this.
What Type of Tofu is Good for Cooking?
It depends on one’s personal preference, but I do like the texture of extra firm tofu. It can hold its shape, so baking or shallow pan frying is good with it.
Why is Pressing Tofu Important?
Tofu has a lot of water content, and for it to soak the flavours, tofu needs to be free from water. You can definitely use a tofu press if you have one. However, I prefer pressing it with a thick layer of paper towel and putting a heavy object on top.
Making of Sauce
It’s really simple and easy. We are making our own sauce by mixing a few of them. Asian flavour is a wonderful combination of sweet and spicy and for that we need to understand the ratio. Once we get to know how the flavour profile works, it’s really easy.
What Do You Serve With Sweet and Spicy Tofu?
I prefer to eat white rice and some steamed/roasted broccoli with it. You can have anything, from salad, to rice, to bread.
