While there\u2019s so much you can do with tofu, the blandness that makes it versatile also makes it boring unless you dress it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you don\u2019t already have a few favorite tofu recipes, what can you do to make your tofu taste great? Here are just a few simple ways to upgrade your tofu.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-1200x801.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/marinated-sesame-tofu.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Vladislav Noseek\/Shutterstock<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve the Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, while it\u2019s not entirely related to taste and flavor, your tofu\u2019s texture will greatly impact your dining experience. Some say that you should always press your tofu before cooking it, while others say that pressing your tofu is entirely unnecessary. However, these stances are both incorrect. The fact is, you should press your tofu <em>sometimes<\/em> and not other times, depending on the type of tofu you have on hand, the cooking method you plan to use, and your desired texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want crispy tofu and you plan on grilling, frying or air frying it, press it \u2014 if it\u2019s medium-firm tofu. Medium-firm tofu has more water in it, so some of that needs to be removed. If you\u2019re cooking your tofu any other way and are using medium-firm tofu, there\u2019s no need to press.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of crispy, fried tofu.\" class=\"wp-image-48138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/crispy-fried-tofu.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Riki Risnandar\/Shutterstock<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If, though, you have extra-firm tofu, you likely don\u2019t need to press it at all, regardless of cooking method. The lesser water content in extra-firm tofu ensures you can achieve a crispy outer texture and moist inner texture. If crispy is your goal, you may just want to simply pat the tofu\u2019s exterior dry and, in some cases, dust the tofu with cornstarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a texture that\u2019s more spongy than moist on the inside, try freezing the tofu before thawing and cooking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add More Flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tofu happily adopts whatever flavors you add to it, and it can stand up to a lot of stronger, more pungent flavors, meaning this is not the time to restrain yourself or limit your seasonings to mere salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, reach for your most flavorful marinades, sauces, glazes, and spices. Barbecue sauce, grilling marinades, teriyaki sauce, peanut sauce, and soy sauce are all good options if you want a glaze, marinade, or sauce. For dry seasonings, try a taco or Tex Mex spice blend, Indian spice mixes, Cajun spice mixes, or blackening rubs, all of which make for bold flavors. You can even use a dry seasoning first, when you fry, saute or bake your tofu, and then add a sauce before using it in your final dish.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switch Up the Type of Tofu You\u2019re Using<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also buy tofu that already comes seasoned and flavorful. While it may be a little more difficult to find, seeking it out is well worth it. Look for five-spice tofu or smoked tofu.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Crispy Tofu &amp; Kale Stir Fry.\" class=\"wp-image-39177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-246x246.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-130x130.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Kale-Stir-Fry-with-Crispy-Curried-Tofu-1-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/kale-stir-fry-crispy-curried-tofu\/\"><em>Crispy Tofu &amp; Kale Stir Fry<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start with the Right Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, great-tasting tofu starts with the right recipe.
