A practical guide to tofu.
Tofu can be grilled, tossed, simmered, crumbled, spooned or blended. Start with the flavour direction your dish needs.
What is tofu?
A versatile soybean food.
Tofu is made by coagulating soya liquid and forming the resulting curds into a block. The TOFIT range currently includes Plain Tofu and Masala Tofu.
There is no single correct way to use tofu. Start with the flavour direction you want, then choose the cutting, crumbling, browning or blending method that suits the finished dish.
Plain or Masala
Let the flavour direction lead.
This comparison is general culinary guidance. Your recipe and the seasoning control you want should guide the final choice.
| Decision factor | Plain Tofu | Masala Tofu |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour direction | Neutral base for your own seasoning | Seasoned direction for savoury cooking |
| Try it for | Stir-fries, curries, salads, dips and desserts | Tikka, bhurji, wraps, bowls and quick curries |
| Build from | Marinades, sauces, herbs and spice blends | Vegetables, grains, breads and finishing herbs |
| Choose it when | You want maximum control over the final flavour | You want a convenient masala-led starting point |
The basic method
Four useful steps.
Small choices make tofu easier to work with, whichever TOFIT variant you start from.
Handle
Drain as the recipe requires, then cut, crumble or blend according to the result you want.
Cook
Use a hot pan for browning, a gentle simmer for delicate dishes, or blend where a smooth base is wanted.
Season
Build flavour through marinades, sauces, aromatics and the seasoning profile of the dish.
Common mistake
Seasoning before tasting.
Plain Tofu invites your own flavour build. Masala Tofu already has a savoury direction, so taste the dish before adding more seasoning.
Storage basics
Keep it cold and follow the pack.
Keep refrigerated at 0–5°C. After opening, keep covered and refrigerated and consume within 3–4 days. Follow the Best Before date on the pack.
