When I first became a vegetarian and started eating tofu regularly, I couldn’t understand for the life of me why anyone would want to eat soft tofu – aka silken tofu. It just didn’t make sense. Clearly, firm tofu was superior, so what was the point of having soft, squishy tofu that fell apart as soon as it hit the frying pan?

What I later realized was the reason silken tofu didn’t make any sense to me was because I didn’t know how to cook with it. More importantly, I didn’t know there were specific uses for silken tofu, like making creamy desserts, that you would not want to use firm tofu for. If you’ve only been buying the extra-firm tofu at the grocery store, you might be missing out on some awesome foods you can make with silken tofu. That’s why, without any further ado, we proudly present you some of the best silken tofu recipes we could find online.
