How is tofu cooked?
This traditional Asian dish can come in several forms: silken, firm, smoked or lactofermented tofu. Depending on the preparation, some will be more adequate. For example, in a dessert or miso soup, silken tofu is recommended, thanks to its easy-to-work texture. Lactofermented tofu is more acidic and gives an interesting taste to certain sauces or salads. While firm tofu is quite neutral, which is why it is sometimes smoked, or sold flavored. But this tofu can also be seasoned or marinated very well and its texture remains an asset in the kitchen.
