  • ✨🌶️ Chili Garlic Silken Tofu 🌶️✨ My favorite way to use soft or silken tofu. Serve it cold or give it a quick steam/poach (my preference). Whip up a quick chili garlic sauce and serve it with steamed rice. 🍚

      I'm not trying to excuse American ignorance but.
      As an American myself, i only learned recently that in other cultures tofu isn't seen as a meat substitute. Idk why it's taught as such here but until i saw a reddit post about vegans being mad at a meat tofu dish, i had no idea people mixed the two
      I wish there was more education about other cultures and there food in early developments cause if you grow up thinking a food is only served one way, it blows your mind when you find out your culture is the only one that sees it thst way.

      @@Tues48It’s funny because I’m an American too, but I grew up in an area with very mixed cultures, so I had the opposite experience! I was surprised when I first learned that tofu was a meat substitute, and after watching this video, I was REALLY surprised at how common it is for people to see it only as that. I thought everyone saw “meat substitute” as a secondary use of it, at most, so it really goes to show how different each individual experience is even within the same country

    Good for you for blanching the silken tofu! It firms it up just a tad so it doesn't fall apart into a mush on the plate when eating it the way you do. Chinese chefs will blanch it when making mapo tofu. It also takes out some of the possible grassy overtone in the flavor that some people don't care for. You can use salted or unsalted water and don't cook it, just lightly blanch it.
