This Koya-dofu, made with Muso organic soybeans and nigari (magnesium chloride), is a frozen tofu produced with care, without the use of leavening agents.
Frozen tofu is a soy protein food rich in plant-based protein.
Because it is not processed with leavening agents like baking soda, it does not expand significantly or become fluffy and soft when rehydrated.
It has a slightly chewy texture, retaining the traditional flavor and mouthfeel.
◆ How to Prepare
Since it is not processed with leavening agents, please soak it thoroughly in plenty of hot water or simmer it in hot water before cooking.
Soaking it in hot water with baking soda dissolved in it for about 5 minutes will make it softer. (Guideline: approximately 2-3g of baking soda per 500ml of hot water around 60°C).
After rehydrating, squeeze out the water by sandwiching the Koya-dofu between your hands, then add it to the seasoned broth for cooking. (Be careful of burns.)
Use it in various dishes such as simmered dishes, rolled sushi, chirashizushi, deep-fried stuffed tofu, and egg-drop soup.
