Tofu Recipe Question....

[Guest guest]

Often times I see recipes that just calls for tofu. How do you know which kind

to use? Below is an example:

 

Eggless Spinach Quiche

 

1 (8 ounce) container tofu

1/3 cup 1% milk

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 cup diced onion

2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust

Add to Recipe Box

My folders:

 

 

 

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a blender, combine tofu and milk; process until smooth, adding more milk if

necessary. Blend in salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine spinach, garlic, onion, Cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese

and tofu mixture. Mix well, and pour into prepared pie crust.

 

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until set and golden brown on top. Let

stand 5 minutes before cutting.

 

TIA,

In this recipe the directions give the clue. It should be soft, so that it will

blend up smooth.

 

If a recipe wants you to cut it up into cubes, use Firm or Extra Firm.

Extra firm is too cook on their own (steaks), firm you can cook on its own but

also use it for meatballs, veggie patties, or in your attached recipe. The soft

or silken tofu is for desserts, like mousses or smoothies...
