Plant-based diets are increasing in popularity, often including dishes with tofu because of their high protein and nutrients, and low fat and carb contents. However, cooking with tofu has been in culinary practices for thousands of years, originating in China.
The block of tofu is a type of bean curd made by coagulating soy milk. The production process can yield various types of blocks ranging from the softest (silken) to soft, firm, and extra firm.
And because the flavor profile of tofu is very neutral and its texture is very spongey and absorbent, it’s a perfect ingredient to be worked into various recipes.
Our Cooking With Tofu guide will include a couple of techniques with the different types of tofu blocks and our top 12 favorite tofu recipes!
Silken tofu is best for blending into sauces, creams, smoothies, and dressings. It can also be used in baking, vegan mayo, and miso soup. Silken tofu should not be pressed or fried. The packaging can either be labeled as “silken,” “soft,” or the combination of both words.
A medium through extra-firm tofu is more compact and has lower water content. These blocks of tofu can be pressed to remove excess water which is ideal for frying or baking. Many of our recipes use this type of tofu.
This technique is used with firm or extra-firm blocks. This process can be achieved by taking the tofu out of the packaging, draining its excess water, wrapping the block in a few paper towels, placing the wrapped block on a plate, and placing another plate on top that is weighed down either with a skillet or heavy bag of rice.
And so, this process can be used before choosing to marinate the tofu, frying it, or baking it.
Alternatively, you can bake tofu at a low temperature (200ºF to 215ºF) for a long period of time (30-50 minutes) to remove its excess water.

1 Ripe Banana, Mashed
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Honey
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Egg Replacer or 2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Spice
1/4 Cup Unsweetened, non-dairy milk
1 3/4 Cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
Optional toppings: Cinnamon, Sliced Almonds or Walnuts, Dried Cranberries
First, preheat the oven to 325ºF
Next, combine all the wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl (banana, oil, pumpkin, honey, milk, vanilla, egg replacer, and pumpkin spice)
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt and whisk together or sift.
Then, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, incorporating until the batter is smooth. There should be no clumps. This can be done by using a whisk or a hand mixer.
Once batter is smooth, lightly coat a bread baking pan with oil and sprinkle in flour. Knock out any extra flour and discard.
Use a rubber spatula to pour the entire batter mixture into the bread pan, place in the oven and bake for about 55 minutes.
The same recipe can be used to make pumpkin muffins! Just line a muffin pan with muffin papers or lightly grease with oil and bake for 25-35 minutes.
