Tofu has a mild-mannered demeanor with a very neutral taste, which is precisely what makes it one of the most wonderful plant-based proteins. Tofu’s blank-canvas vibe makes it a great candidate for pairing with almost anything in the pantry, and gives it the chameleon-like ability to pick up the flavors of whatever other ingredients it’s partnered with.

Firm and extra-firm tofu give you the most flexibility when it comes to cooking, since they’re the best choices for baking, pan-frying, stir-frying, and grilling, while creamy silken tofu is a great pick for whipping up a dip or blitzing into a smoothie.

Regardless of which type of tofu you have in your fridge right now, we’ve got 25 recipes to help you enjoy it to its full potential.
