All recipes with tofu

Here you’ll find all the recipes published by our food experts that feature tofu as an ingredient.

Tofu, also known as soy cheese, is a plant-based food with great culinary versatility. Made by coagulating soy milk, it is distinguished by its soft, neutral texture, which allows it to perfectly absorb the flavors of the ingredients and marinades with which it is cooked. A staple of Asian cuisine, tofu is now featured in many recipes around the world, both savory and sweet.

A source of complete plant-based protein, low in fat, and naturally gluten-free, it is an excellent alternative to meat for those looking to diversify their diet or adopt a more plant-based approach to cooking.

In the kitchen, tofu comes in many forms: firm, silken, smoked, or marinated. Firm tofu is perfect for vegetable stir-fries, skewers, curries, or wok dishes seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, or sesame. Silken tofu, which is more delicate, blends seamlessly into Japanese soups (miso), creamy desserts, or rich sauces.

To bring out its full potential, it’s best to press it before cooking to remove excess water, then marinate it for a long time in a sauce made with tamari, sesame oil, garlic, lime, or spices, depending on your preference. Well-seasoned and pan-seared until golden, tofu becomes a rich, balanced, and versatile ingredient, capable of elevating everyday dishes as well as the most refined recipes.
