Tips

You can buy tofu from supermarkets, usually in the refrigerated section. Cover any unused tofu with plenty of cold water and store in a container in the fridge. Change the water daily to keep the tofu fresh.

Tofu provides the body with iron, calcium, protein, folate and thiamin plus many other nutrients too.

To marinate tofu: place in a shallow dish and cover with marinade, leave for about 30mins. Use a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, lemon or honey, you can even try basil pesto, homemade or from the shops. There’s an abundance of marinades in the supermarkets that are quick and easy to use.
