"  Before you get cooking with tofu, know the basics: there are two kinds, regular and silken. Regular is firmer and appropriate for dishes where you want the tofu to hold together, like stir-fries and baked recipes. Silken has a softer consistency and falls apart much more easily. Silken tofu works beautifully for recipes like dressings, sauces, and desserts. Silken tofu doesn&amp;#039;t require any special preparation before cooking, but regular tofu needs a little TLC. To make perfect regular tofu, follow these steps from Happy Food Healthy Life. The process includes freezing and pressing the tofu. While it takes some time, a lot of the work is hands-off and, in the end, is totally worth the effort!
