- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
METHOD
- Crumble tofu into a mixing bowl using your hands.Note - When using a super firm or extra firm tofu, there is usually no need to press it. However, if there is liquid remaining in the tofu, then it is necessary to press the tofu before crumbling it.
- Place the remaining ingredients (silken tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, miso paste, and all the seasonings) into a blender. Blend till smooth.
- In a small mixing bowl - Combine the crumbled firm tofu with the blended silken tofu mixture.
NOTES
- Press the tofu: Ensure firm tofu is properly pressed to remove excess moisture.
- Blend silken tofu smoothly: Blend the silken tofu mixture until completely smooth for the best texture.
- Adjust consistency: Add a little water if the mixture is too thick after blending.
- Gentle folding: Fold the mixtures gently to maintain the chunky texture.
- Rest before serving: Let the mixture sit for a few minutes after mixing to enhance the flavors.
