I have been eating a plant-based diet for 12 years and have become more than familiar with tofu. I call for extra-firm tofu because I like my tofu to have a crispy exterior but a soft and juicy inside. The best part about tofu is that it is a blank slate and an amazing “vehicle” for any sauce, spice, or marinade. I recommend pairing this tofu with your favorite grain or rice noodles. —Athia Landry
