    I am once again inspired to try to find the right medium firm tofu for vegan chicken! My kiddo is super picky about texture, so I gotta find one that gets that wildly chicken-like texture. Thank you for this great go-to guide! 😊

    Loved this and it is very helpful. I try to meal prep blocks to build dishes over the week. Some different marinades, sauces or other type things to mix up on prep day would be nice.

    this is so helpful! it also helps me understand why my extra firm tofu doesn't look the same as others. where I am (southern us) I've only ever seen the extra firm that comes in liquid, and it seems that's less common in other countries.

    In addition to differences in firmness, there is also flavour differences in my experience. I made my own tofu for a short time from locally grown soy beans until I tried Fontaine Santé Tofu. This brand of tofu IMO is the very best Tofu available in the Canadian market. Better still, Costco stocks it in a 4 pack :-).

    i really appreciated this, Mary, though half the tofus (tofi?) I cannot get here, even in Asian stores, for some reason. I can't remember the last time I saw smoked tofu, for example, but it's been years. A new H Mart opened recently in the burbs here, so I'll pop in the next time I'm out that way and have a perusal of their tofu section. Thanks for posting!

    Very informative and well explained Mary 😁 I was hoping that you would also talk about dry tofu sticks and sheets and how to use them in cooking? Sending you love from Melbourne Australia 🖤

    I'm hesitant to use any soy product, like tofu, that isn't organic because I'm under the impression that all non-organic soy is GMO and I don't want all the pesticides that go along with that. Do you know if this is true? Thank you.

    could you make tofu deserts or sweet breakfeast tofu items in one of your episodes? I have a sweet tooth but think this could be a good way to at least have more protein in them.

    This has been very informative. Smoked tofu is so good but yes, it's been pricier. Last I saw, it was $3.99 in my local store. I'll have to try the super pressed tofu next time. I didn't realize the texture was similar to the smoked tofu. Thanks!

    I want to try the fish tofu. I love tuna salad but don’t buy tuna. Thanks so much for all the information. I would love to see you make “tofu” tuna salad. It’s got celery, pickles, red peppers, vegan mayo and pretty much any veggies you want. I put jalapeños in mine. 😃❤️

    Love this tofu guide! Very informative!
    p.s. Have made your miso marinated tofu a couple of times now…so good!
    How about tofu shirataki noodles? I didn’t like the House Foods brand ones, but love the Kibun Foods brand “Healthy Noodle” one from Costco. Marketed as “keto friendly”, so you might be interested.
