Taifun Organic Silken Tofu, 400 g

The fine, creamy consistency and neutral, mild taste of silken tofu make it particularly versatile. In Japanese cuisine it is often added to soups or served cold or slightly warmed with a little soy sauce. In Western cuisine, silken tofu is used as a substitute for various dairy products such as cream, yoghurt or sour cream. It is also often used in desserts and baked goods.

How to use: Open the foil and place the tofu on a plate by turning the package upside down. Leftover silken tofu can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered, airtight container and will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Do not freeze because freezing destroys the consistency. You can also sauté silken tofu, which is popular in Japanese cuisine. To do this, carefully cut it into cubes and coat in arrowroot flour before frying.
