A question about tofu...?!
Does the firmness of tofu have anything to do with how it cooks!? Does the firmer tofu cook better!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It depends on what you're making!. Firm tofu tends to stay together when you stir fry it!. Soft tofu is great for a thickening ingredient or as a spread!. For example you can make chocolate pudding by just sticking tofu and melted chocolate in a food processor, you can thicken a soup with soft tofu, or mix it with seasonings and use it instead of mayo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It will depend on the recipe!. Firm tofu is easier to work with but soft tofu has a better texture!.
For stir fries or deep frying, I prefer firm tofu cos it will hold its shape
I prefer soft tofu added a the last minute on soups and stews because it becomes even more velvety in a liquid/sauce!. But soft Japanese tofu with pankuo batter then deep fried is good too!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I prefer the refrigerated firm tofu for grilling or frying!. The non-refrigerated firm will still crumble a little when cooking with it!. And as previous posters said, the soft tofu is really for smoothies and puddings!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well there is a difference between firm and silken, I am pretty sure you know that already, but other than that sometimes firmer tofu cooks differently, as some recipes state!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Hi DOT!!
I don't think so, but most recipes usually reccomend Extra-Firm tofu!.
