Healthy Tofu Recipes and Cooking Tips

Healthy Tofu Recipes and Cooking Tips

Embrace tofu's versatility—and health benefits—with these bold, delicious recipes.

Tofu is growing in popularity among vegetarians and meat-eaters alike—and for good reason. Tofu lends itself well to a variety of flavors and cooking techniques. Our recipe selections embrace tofu’s versatility with exotic and bold ingredients.

Tofu, a great source of soy protein, also boasts significant calcium and magnesium. Research shows that soy-based meals that also include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts can help fight hypertension, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and some cancers. With all the variety and health benefits tofu has to offer, try some of our delicious tofu recipes tonight!

Tofu Cooking Tips

  • Silken tofu is delicate and custardlike, perfect for pureeing and using in dressings, smoothies, sauces or floating in delicate soups. Extra-firm tofu is ideal for stir-fries, sautés and grilling, while the soft variety makes a good substitute for ricotta in Italian dishes or for eggs in quiches. Firm tofu is a good all-purpose choice.
  • Have leftover tofu? Rinse, place in a storage container and cover with water; it keeps up to 4 days in the refrigerator if the water is changed every day or two. Or freeze tofu for up to 5 months.
