Cooking Tips
🧈 Tofu
- Press tofu for 15-30 minutes to remove excess water for better texture.
- Use extra-firm tofu for stir-fries and firm for grilling.
- Freeze and thaw tofu for a chewier, more meat-like texture.
Nutrition: Plant-based protein with calcium and iron. Half a block has about 20g protein.
Storage: Unopened tofu keeps until the expiry date. Once opened, use within 3-5 days submerged in water.
🫚 Ginger
- Use the edge of a spoon to peel ginger — it follows the contours perfectly.
- Freeze ginger and grate it frozen for the finest texture.
- Fresh ginger adds heat and brightness; dried ginger is warmer and more pungent.
Nutrition: Contains gingerol with anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
Storage: Refrigerate unpeeled for 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 6 months.
