I’ve never been anywhere that felt quite like this tofu factory, it’s like standing inside a literal oven.

The men here endure intense heat and grueling physical labor every single day.

I have nothing but respect and appreciation for their incredible hard work and dedication.

Tofu cooked this way tastes so delicious and aromatic, simple, cheap, and satisfying. 👉 Check out the full recipe here if you want to give it a go.

I've tried to boil Tofu for a couple of weeks instead of doing the freezing tricks and everything else.

I keep it at a rolling boil for about 5 minutes based on a few articles and most recently Wendy food scientist blogs, but the results never end in a more firm tofu instead it seems like it turns it into a silken soft tofu that feels more like jello.

I use a variety of extra firm tofu, most of them are in the water soaked packages. I put them in a tofu press for about 20 minutes and drain it out before boiling.

I found this product at my local grocery store, and I think it's really good. I can't eat tofu every day, but this stuff is a nice change and quick to make too.  

Have any of you folks tried it? What did you think of it?  

(Yes, I bought all that. It was on sale this week! lol)
