You could put some roasted asparagus on top. Serve in a bowl, the hot soba arranged to one side of the tofu and the kimchi to the other, along with the sauce. Remove the crisp tofu and toss with the sauce. Heat a good quantity of neutral oil, like canola, in a big sauté pan, then add the tofu in a single layer and fry it over medium-high heat, turning to get every side. Cut the tofu into manageable pieces, and pat dry with paper towel. Make a sauce of minced garlic and ginger, some soy, hoisin or oyster sauces, a splash of maple syrup, another of sesame oil, a lot of red-pepper flakes, all whisked together. Get some firm tofu some soba noodles some jarred kimchi. Here’s TJ’s own take on Super Firm Tofu, via Fearless Flyer archived post.įor me, I will stick to TJ’s ORGANIC FIRM TOFU (in the red pack) which I love and have reviewed with a RAVE Having said all that from our take on this, some readers have Commented they like it because it is so very firm. As she said, “I come from tofu country”. She made me swear to “Never, ever buy that stuff again”. We barely choked it down chewing our cud so to speak and only ate this due to the fact that we were starving at the time and had nothing else at hand to eat for dinner. Man did my (Japanese) wife take it out on me for buying this. When I cooked it for dinner, we found the finished dish so tough and chewy to be barely edible. Its sounds kinda good when you look at it and think “Oh High Protein, that must be better” but the reality is this extra protein must be the thing that makes the texture so hard. To me, the package should read “HARD & TOUGH TOFU”. Well this stuff, your knife has to be pushed with a little pressure to cut through it. Have you ever cut firm Tofu? Sure, your knife glides right through it, so easily. If I drew a picture in my mind what “Shoe Leather made of Tofu” might be like…then you will have some idea of the texture of this. Super firm? They are not kidding when they say “super firm tofu”. The information provided on this website, including special diets and nutritional.

Cook 5 to 6 minutes until lightly browned on the bottom.

Add the olive oil to a non-stick pan and add the tofu cubes and a few pinches kosher salt. I saw this and thought I’d give it a try for the blog here. Cut the tofu into large cubes (about 1.5 x 2) and pat it dry with a towel. For one thing (unusual for tofu) it does not come floating in water, it’s packaged in a tight fitting green plastic wrapper. This product, HIGH PROTEIN SUPER FIRM TOFU is quite different. That’s the one that comes packaged in a red/pink plastic container and is in water. Let me begin with saying Trader Joe’s Firm Organic Tofu is very good.
