What to cook with tofu
Tofu is a blank canvas with protein: it crisps, braises, scrambles and soaks up any sauce you give it. Press it well and even committed meat-eaters will go back for seconds.

Tofu cooking tips
- Press firm tofu 15 minutes under something heavy — it crisps twice as well.
- Cornflour coating is the shortcut to shattering-crisp tofu in a pan.
- Freeze tofu once and its texture turns pleasantly chewy, like a sponge for sauce.
