Firm Tofu

Also Called

northern tofu, brine tofu, plank tofu

Usage

used as an ingredient for cooking, especially in baking, stir-frying, pan-frying, deep-frying, braising, double-boiling, steaming, and poaching methods

Description

Compared to semi-firm tofu, firm tofu has lower water content, greater hardness, stronger resilience, and is less prone to breakage, but its texture is relatively rough. This is because, in the final moulding stage of tofu production, more water is pressed out based on the semi-firm tofu, resulting in firm tofu.
