Firm tofu
Firm tofu is a type of soy-based protein made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the curds to remove excess liquid, resulting in a dense, sturdy texture. Its firmness allows it to hold shape well during cooking, making it versatile for various dishes like stir-fries, grilling, and baking. It absorbs marinades and flavors effectively, enhancing its taste. Because of its higher moisture content compared to soft or silken tofu, it has a meatier bite, making it a popular plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans.
