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.
🍆 Eggplant
- Salt eggplant slices and let them sweat for 30 minutes to remove bitterness.
- Roast whole eggplant over a flame for smoky baba ganoush.
- Eggplant absorbs oil like a sponge — brush rather than pour oil on it.
Nutrition: Low calorie with fiber and antioxidants, especially nasunin in the purple skin.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Use quickly once cut.
