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.
🌶️ Chili Peppers
- Remove seeds and ribs for less heat — that's where the capsaicin lives.
- Wear gloves when handling hot chilies to avoid burning your skin.
- Toast dried chilies in a dry pan for deeper, smokier flavor.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C. Capsaicin may boost metabolism and reduce pain.
Storage: Refrigerate fresh chilies for 1-2 weeks. Dry chilies last 1 year.
