The article discusses the versatility of soft tofu, emphasizing that it doesn’t always have to be crispy. It recommends steaming or microwaving soft tofu to enhance its flavor and texture. Microwaving is noted for its convenience, as it removes some water, making the tofu ready for seasoning. A simple recipe with silken tofu involves using butter and soy sauce, with a suggestion to opt for robust soy sauce and quality butter. The author encourages flexibility in using herbs and combining the dish with starchy sides for a complete meal.
Though I'd never say no to a tofu nugget, not all tofu needs to be crispy. Softer varieties especially lend themselves to gentle preparations.
Steaming or blanching is a classic way of boosting tofu's mild flavor and embracing its custardy texture.
Nuking a block expels some of the water content-that's why many people microwave firm tofu as an alternative to pressing-and primes it for seasoning.
If you only have either cilantro or scallions, don't let that stop you from making this comforting dish.
