firm tofu
Sturdy soy block
Firm tofu is a variety of tofu that holds its shape well during cooking, making it suitable for stir-frying, grilling, or pan-frying.
It has had more water pressed out than softer varieties, giving it a denser texture that won't crumble when handled: Cube the firm tofu and add it to the curry.
The firmness scale runs from silken through soft, medium, firm, and extra-firm.
