Cooking Tips
🧈 Tofu
- Press tofu for 15-30 minutes to remove excess water for better texture.
- Use extra-firm tofu for stir-fries and firm for grilling.
- Freeze and thaw tofu for a chewier, more meat-like texture.
Nutrition: Plant-based protein with calcium and iron. Half a block has about 20g protein.
Storage: Unopened tofu keeps until the expiry date. Once opened, use within 3-5 days submerged in water.
🫑 Bell Peppers
- Red bell peppers are the sweetest — they're just fully ripened green peppers.
- Roast peppers over an open flame or broiler for a smoky, silky texture.
- Cut peppers from the outside in to avoid the bitter white pith.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C — one red pepper has 169% of your daily value.
Storage: Refrigerate whole peppers for up to 2 weeks. Cut peppers last 3-5 days.
