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.
🫘 Sesame Oil
- Toasted sesame oil is for finishing, not cooking — it burns easily.
- A few drops go a long way — sesame oil is intensely flavored.
- Combine with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and ginger for an instant Asian dressing.
Nutrition: Rich in healthy polyunsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening for up to 6 months.
