3 types of tofu:
1.Silk tofu
2.Firm tofu
3.Regular tofu
Characteristic of each tofu:
SILKEN TOFU:Is made with a coagulant that allows the soy milk to solidify in its container.
FIRM TOFU:Firm tofu is the most versatile of the tofu types. It can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, put in a stew, used as a filling or to make spreads.
REGULAR TOFU:made by coagulating cooked soymilk and then pressing it into soft curds. Retaining most of the nutrients in soymilk, tofu has a bland flavor and white color and provides a texture that is smooth, firm, and coherent, but not hard or rubbery.

3 types of tofu:
1:seasoned tofu
2:smoked tofu
3:firm tofu
Characteristic of each tofu:
Seasoned tofu:Tofu is also available pre-seasoned. This makes it easier to prepare as you can start as soon as you open the packet! Seasoned tofu is available in different flavours; tamari and tomato/basil are widely available. Seasoned tofu is mostly firm and can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, grilled, roasted in the oven, barbecued or eaten raw.
Smoked tofu:This tofu is extra-firm and has a smoky flavour. Smoking is generally an artisanal process. Originally, tofu was smoked above tealeaves, but today it is mostly done over beech wood, which gives it a great aroma. You can pan-fry or stir-fry smoked tofu, but it is best eaten raw, such as in a winter stew or a summer salad.
Firm Tofu:Of all the types of tofu, firm tofu is the most widely available in supermarkets. Firm tofu is quite compact and is often packaged soaked in liquid – the amount depends on the type of packaging. Firm tofu is like feta: it doesn’t crumble when you pick it up and it is easy to chop. In the kitchen, firm tofu is the most versatile of the tofu types. It can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, put in a stew, used as a filling or to make spreads. Be sure to fully dry firm tofu before cooking, to ensure it can absorb the marinade and will splatter less in the pan. Firm tofu can also be bought smoked or seasoned.

3 types of tofu
1)Silken tofu
Characteristics-Silken tofu, also known as Japanese-style tofu, is silky, creamy and has the highest water content. If you try to hold it, it will fall to pieces. You usually prepare dishes with silken tofu when it is wet
2)Smoked tofu
characteristics-This extra-firm tofu is most often smoked in tea leaves, giving it a light hue and smoky flavor. It's so dry and dense, you can barely see the curds, and is very similar to dry tofu, but with a lighter up-front flavor
3)Firm Tofu
characteristics-it has the firmness of raw meat and bounces back readily when pressed

3 Types of Tofu

Silken: Good for making smoothies, sauces and salad dressings, and as an egg substitute in baking.
Silken tofu is undrained and unpressed tofu. It has the highest water content of all types of tofu and is made by coagulating soy milk without curdling it. It is often produced in the container it comes in. It's available in several consistencies depending on how much soy protein it contains.

Silken
Silken tofu, also known as Japanese-style tofu, is silky, creamy and has the highest water content. If you try to hold it, it will fall to pieces. Silken tofu looks like a very young cheese such as burrata (a kind of mozzarella) and can be used as a thick cream, fresh cream cheese or ricotta in cheesecakes, smoothies, dips or even ravioli fillings. You usually prepare dishes with silken tofu when it is wet.

Regular
This type of tofu is used primarily in Asian dishes. It is a little more compact than silken but still soft. Regular tofu easily soaks up the flavours of sauces and broths and so is often used in noodle soups and stews. You can also make delicious spreads using regular tofu, or ‘scrambled’ tofu, a vegetarian take on scrambled eggs. Don’t pan-fry or deep-fry regular tofu as it is likely to crumble.

Firm
Of all the types of tofu, firm tofu is the most widely available in supermarkets. Firm tofu is quite compact and is often packaged soaked in liquid – the amount depends on the type of packaging. Firm tofu is like feta: it doesn’t crumble when you pick it up and it is easy to chop. In the kitchen, firm tofu is the most versatile of the tofu types. It can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, put in a stew, used as a filling or to make spreads. Be sure to fully dry firm tofu before cooking, to ensure it can absorb the marinade and will splatter less in the pan. Firm tofu can also be bought smoked or seasoned.

Extra-firm
Extra-firm tofu has less water than firm tofu, which you notice in the difference in texture. The culinary possibilities of firm and extra-firm are almost the same, but extra-firm tofu doesn’t absorb marinades as well. On the other hand, extra-firm is easier to pan-fry, stir-fry or deep-fry. Follow your personal preference.

Super-firm
If you look at super-firm tofu you can easily mistake it for meat because it is so dense. In fact it is a great meat substitute! Cut the tofu into regular-sized slices, sticks or cubes, mix with a hot marinade and pan-fry, stir-fry or deep-fry. Super-firm tofu is not widely available but is easy to make.

Seasoned tofu
Tofu is also available pre-seasoned. This makes it easier to prepare as you can start as soon as you open the packet! Seasoned tofu is available in different flavours; tamari and tomato/basil are widely available. Seasoned tofu is mostly firm and can be pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, grilled, roasted in the oven, barbecued or eaten raw.

Smoked tofu
This tofu is extra-firm and has a smoky flavour. Smoking is generally an artisanal process. Originally, tofu was smoked above tealeaves, but today it is mostly done over beech wood, which gives it a great aroma. You can pan-fry or stir-fry smoked tofu, but it is best eaten raw, such as in a winter stew or a summer salad.

Tofu à la minute
These small tofu pieces are pre-marinated and pre-cooked. All you have to do is add them to a (stir-fry) dish, or pan-fry the tofu à la minute in oil until crispy and add to dishes such as salads and stews. Tofu à la minute can be purchased in a variety of flavours including Asian-spiced, Italian-spiced and Mexican-spiced.

These other tofu products can be found in Asian supermarkets.

Pressed tofu
When tofu is pressed under high pressure, very little water remains, giving it a meat-like texture that can be compared to that of super-firm tofu. There are two types of pressed tofu: natural and pre-seasoned.

Fermented tofu
If you pickle tofu in a mixture of salt, rice wine and water it will ferment. This fermenting gives a tofu deep, savoury flavour called umami. In Chinese cooking, fermented tofu is not used as an ingredient but as flavouring. Don't buy fermented tofu in plastic packaging as only glass stops the fermentation process and so guarantees the flavour.

3 types of Tofu
1. Silken tofu
Silken tofu is produced by coagulating soy milk without cutting the curd. Silken tofu is available in several consistencies, including soft and firm, but all silken tofu is more delicate than regular firm tofu (pressed tofu) and it has different culinary uses.
2. firm Tofu
firm tofu often possesses greater hardness and cohesiveness so that more power is needed to break down its structure.
3 extra firm tofu
Extra-firm tofu has less water than firm tofu, which you notice in the difference in texture. The culinary possibilities of firm and extra-firm are almost the same, but extra-firm tofu doesn’t absorb marinades as well. On the other hand, extra-firm is easier to pan-fry, stir-fry or deep-fry.
