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.
🍋 Lime
- Microwave a lime for 10 seconds before juicing to get more juice.
- Lime zest has more intense flavor than the juice — use both.
- Lime juice can "cook" raw fish in ceviche through acid denaturation.
Nutrition: High in vitamin C and antioxidants. One lime has about 20 calories.
Storage: Room temperature for 1 week, refrigerated for up to 4 weeks.
