Is tofu good for you?

Tofu is a fantastic source of complete plant protein, naturally low in saturated fat and a good source of calcium and iron. It has been a staple of healthy diets for centuries.

Can you freeze tofu?

Yes, and freezing actually changes the texture in a useful way, making it firmer and spongier so it absorbs even more flavour. Defrost thoroughly and press before cooking.

Does tofu have much flavour on its own?

Tofu has a mild, subtle flavour, which is exactly its strength. It acts as a canvas, soaking up marinades, spices and sauces beautifully.

How do you make tofu crispy?
