4.0 out of 5 stars Great shelf life, very good for general use July 9, 2008

By SmarterThanYouThink

I use this product frequently. Like most tofu, you need to press it (between paper towels with a heavy skillet on top works fine) to get the excess water out. The more water you can remove, the less you'll have to deal with sloppiness when cooking, something the previous reviewer did not like.

As for a blank slate on taste, that's exactly what makes tofu great. It will take on any flavor you want to impart. Our most common marinade is placing the pressed, cubed tofu in a Ziploc with a mix of soy, honey, and lemon or lime juice. A quick search online for a marinade will give you ideas (many also include minced garlic, ginger, etc). You can also purchase a premade marinade, like a teriyaki sauce. The more liquid the marinade (and the more water removed from pressing), the better it will penetrate the tofu. Even a half hour in the bag works fine.

We saute it right in the pan with the stir fry veggies (add tofu last--it just needs to get warm; or, for a firmer style, you can bake or "brown" it separately first) and pour in the remaining marinade as the final sauce (you can thicken with cornstarch if desired). Handle the tofu cubes gently as they are not firm like most meats, but broken up pieces taste just fine too.

Marinated tofu cubes also do well on kebabs with veggies on the grill.

Plain tofu "creams" well and is often good in a dish that requires thickness. We've made chocolate mousse with it as well as scrambling it like eggs.

We have great success breading pressed cubes of this tofu just like you would the chicken in a General Tso recipe. General Tso's Tofu is AWESOME. The flavor comes from the sauce so you don't need to marinate first....

Some people also freeze tofu--generally remove from packaging and press first--to give it a firmer consistency.

Tofu is all about how you prepare it. Most people will NOT like it plain, so don't expect to just dig a fork into it.

This particluar product is great because of its all-purpose nature (firm is definitely better than soft for saute, etc) and its shelf life. I would have given it five stars but the must-be-refrigerated versions packaged in fluid do seem to be firmer. They don't last as long in the house, though, so this is a perfect choice to keep in the pantry (usually dated a few to several months out). Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest stuff on the planet October 28, 2009

This is the greatest stuff on the planet. First off, I think it's the best silken tofu there is--firm silken will do all of your silken needs, basically. I use it to make mousses for desserts in my food processor. For instance, add some melted chocolate chips, some corn starch, add to a graham cracker crust: you've got a pie. Or I will add some peanut butter, cocoa powder and maple syrup to make a mousse. I also like to just add strawberries and bananas and maple syrup for a "yogurt." I use it to make "sour cream" and onion dips for vegetables. I also like it to make "sour cream" for Mexican food and potatoes--my omni boyfriend can't even tell the difference. Also good to make mayonnaise for potato salad. I recommend a food processor or blender to really get the smooth, creamy texture. This tofu is the best stuff on the planet. I order the 12 pack of it, because I got through 4 or more a week. Also, I like to get the organic, because soybeans are typically highly sprayed crops. It's worth the few extra bucks. I love this stuff--behind my almond milk, this is my most vital ingredient.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome tofu @ a great price! January 28, 2012

My wife and I decided that we wanted to begin having miso soup for dinner on a more regular basis, so purchased this tofu as an essential ingredient for my miso soup recipe. I was totally impressed with the individual packaging of the tofu (and the fact that it doesn't need to be refrigerated), the taste and texture, and the overall product quality. Needless to say, I am reordering and will continue to do so. I want to say that my picky kids also love this tofu as well -- for kids that seem to only want mac & cheese, they are gorging themselves on (much healthier) miso soup now. This makes me happy. By the way, I also highly recommend the Roland White Miso Paste (incredible flavor and great quality) and the Ajinomoto Hon Dashi Soup Stock which I both purchased from Amazon. If interested, my Miso Soup recipe is as follows: 1 package of Morinu firm silken tofu (this stuff), 2 tsp Dashi soup stock, 3 TBS white miso paste, 4 cups of water and 2 chopped scallions -- we also reconstitute shitake mushrooms, add dried wakame seaweed (highly recommend either Eden or Emerald Cove from Amazon as well), add shaved daikon, etc. However, this recipe is awesome just as is... We live in Northern California with some of the best Japanese restaurants in the world, but this recipe blows away (or at least equals) what you can get from any restaurant. But I digress... I highly recommend this tofu!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, easy to cook with. May 28, 2012

By Alan Truly

I am fairly new to tofu but have already gone through 3 cases of this lovely tofu since the beginning of the year.
It's really great. Very mild flavour that is easily masked by what ever you cook it with.

I make an awesome instant chocolate pudding with this stuff, a box of silken tofu, some dark cocoa powder, stevia and then a bit of milk to loosen it up. Whiz in a blender or food processor and it makes a super creamy, dreamy delight that I don't feel guilty about eating and leaves me more satisfied than your standard pudding. Chill it and it becomes a realllllllllllllly thick, luscious mousse. (making myself hungry)

Anyhoo, I love that it's a shelf stable product that I can have on hand for impromptu meals.

Sometimes I make burgers by mixing it with smoked paprika, garlic, onion, nutritional yeast, oatmeal, masa flour, bit of nice oil until a thick consistency and fry up and they're just fantastic.

I think this is one of those foods that's so versatile and easy to play with and gives you a nice bit of protein to your diet.
