    FAQs

    What type of tofu should I use?

    Extra-firm tofu or firm tofu is the way to go.

    What is the best way to prepare the tofu before I cook it?

    Remove the tofu from the packaging and wrap it in a clean dish towel. Place the wrapped tofu between two cutting boards with a few cans on top. Leave to rest for about 15 minutes. You will notice the water dripping from the tofu. There are also tofu presses on the market if you prefer.
    Use your hands to crumble the tofu into a bowl; mix with spices (ground turmeric will give your a golden hue). Mix until well coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
