Hannah Che of The Plant-Primarily based Wok educated us on the historical past and preparation of this centuries-old custom: “My dad and mom grew up consuming frozen tofu in northern China—it was a factor centuries earlier than frozen tofu turned common on the Web! Again then most households didn’t have fridges or freezers at house, in order that they purchased it in icy slabs from the village’s tofu vendor, or they froze it themselves within the frigid winter. Freezing tofu adjustments its mobile construction—because the water within the tofu freezes into ice crystals, all of the moisture is pulled out of the curds, leaving a darker-colored and marvelously porous tofu that absorbs flavors and sauce. If you happen to freeze comfortable or medium tofu, you’ll get a looser sponge with open crevices, which is scrumptious in soups. Utilizing agency or extra-firm tofu produces a denser sponge that may face up to stir-frying or braising.” Do that recipe […]

Hannah Che de Le wok végétal nous a renseigné sur l’histoire et la préparation de cette tradition séculaire : « Mes parents ont grandi en mangeant du tofu congelé dans le nord de la Chine – c’était une chose des siècles avant que le tofu congelé ne devienne populaire sur Internet ! À l’époque, la plupart des familles n’avaient pas de réfrigérateur ou de congélateur à la maison, alors elles l’achetaient en plaques glacées au vendeur de tofu du village, ou elles le congelaient elles-mêmes pendant l’hiver glacial. La congélation du tofu modifie sa structure cellulaire – lorsque l’eau du tofu gèle en cristaux de glace, toute l’humidité est extraite du caillé, laissant un tofu de couleur plus foncée et merveilleusement poreux qui absorbe les saveurs et la sauce. Si vous congelez du tofu doux ou moyen, vous obtiendrez une éponge plus lâche avec des crevasses ouvertes, délicieuse dans les soupes. L’utilisation de tofu ferme ou extra-ferme produit une éponge plus dense qui peut résister à la friture ou au braisage. Essayez cette recette […]
