soft tofu

Smooth soybean custard

Soft tofu is a variety of tofu with a high water content, giving it a delicate, custard-like texture.

It's too fragile for stir-frying but works well in soups, smoothies, and dishes where it can be gently spooned or blended: The mapo tofu called for soft tofu, which absorbs the spicy sauce beautifully.
