WHAT IS TOFU?

Tofu is made from soy milk. Created in a process somewhat similar to cheesemaking, the soy milk is curdled – and those curds are pressed into blocks… Therefore it’s no surprise that tofu is also called bean curd.

It’s the perfect blank slate for many recipes because the flavors you use while cooking dictate what the tofu will end up tasting like in the long run.

We’re using firm tofu in this ginger tofu recipe with peppers – but bean curd comes in all types of textures, from silken to extra-firm.

A SIMPLE TOFU RECIPE THAT TASTES ANYTHING BUT SIMPLE

There’s a savory base of flavor from chicken broth, soy sauce and oyster sauce – which is contrasted by the clean, bright and fiery piquancy of fresh ginger.

Think of this ginger tofu with peppers as a delicious tofu stir fry or a veggie stir fry recipe – without the actual stir frying! It’s so easy to whip up in your rice cooker, you won’t have to break out the pans.
