Silken Tofu
Mori-Nu Silken Tofu Firm is a smooth, finely textured tofu that holds its shape while still offering the soft, silky mouthfeel silken tofu is known for. Unlike traditional block tofu, it has a delicate, custard like consistency that blends easily while remaining stable enough for slicing and gentle cooking. Its mild, neutral flavour allows it to absorb seasonings and sauces well, making it an extremely versatile ingredient for everyday cooking. This firm silken tofu is commonly used in Asian inspired dishes, creamy sauces, blended desserts and lighter savoury recipes where a smooth finish is important. Produced by Mori-Nu, it is a popular choice for home cooks looking for reliable silken tofu for both sweet and savoury recipes.

Do I need to press Mori Nu firm silken tofu before cooking?
No, pressing is usually unnecessary because firm silken tofu is made to be used as it is. If you want a slightly drier surface for cooking, simply drain off any liquid and gently pat the tofu dry with kitchen paper before slicing.
Can I pan fry firm silken tofu and still get a crisp finish?
Yes, but it needs a gentle approach. Slice it into thicker pieces, pat dry, then lightly coat the surface with cornflour before frying in a hot pan with a little oil. Turn carefully and only once or twice so it develops a light crust without breaking.
What flavours and sauces work best with firm silken tofu?
It suits bold, savoury flavours because the taste is mild. Try soy sauce and ginger, chilli and sesame, miso and spring onion, or a simple dressing of garlic, citrus and toasted sesame oil. Adding the sauce after cooking or just before serving helps the flavour sit on the surface and taste more pronounced.
