    Protein are the building blocks of the body. I have already written about my protein math here. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, Tofu and Soy products becomes one major source of protein. Here is the vegan version of the Frittata with Tofu and vegetables. If you are not vegan, you can go with regular cheese of your choice.

    I have posted few Tofu Recipes but haven’t discussed about the tofu varieties. I haven’t purchased tofu in India. So I am not quiet sure about the varieties there. But in US, in any grocery stores you will at least find three varieties of tofu – Firm, Extra Firm, Soft/ Silken. In Asian stores, you will find more varieties like medium firm, light, etc etc. So what’s the deal about these varieties and how are they classified? Tofu classification is mainly based on how much they are pressed and based on the water content. As Wiki puts it clearly, “Depending on the amount of water that is extracted from the tofu curds, tofu is classified into three main varieties.” The texture and moisture differs in these varieties. I personally like Extra firm tofu and its texture. If you using tofu as an egg replacer, you can use soft or silken but for others extra firm would work. Except for my Korean BBQ style Tacos, I have always used extra firm tofu. Even for that recipe I have used extra firm when I tried them later.

    Pressing the Tofu:

    The extra firm tofu also has water content. I don’t have any tofu presser at home. I usually keep my tofu block in a cutting board and place few paper towels on top and keep my hand mortar and pestle. You can also keep heavy iron skillet on top and let it for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps to remove some water and you can get slightly tighter texture. But we got acquired to tofu taste and texture. So as you can see in the above picture, the frittata is slightly juicy. Either you bake it for longer time or press it more.

    Here are my other Tofu recipes,

    • Korean BBQ Style Tacos
    • PF Chang’s Tofy Lettuce Wraps
    • Teriyaki Tofu
    • Kung Pao Tofu

    This recipe was sent as a part of Feb month Treasure Box. Treasure Box (An activity craft box with a book, craft kit, recipe and app suggestion) – An idea that was sparkled in a WhatsApp conversation last year took its shape and came into market last summer in two months’ time span and now it is slowly but steadily progressing and reaching places. The positive feedback that we are getting each and every month is motivating us to add more to the box. Here is our April Box where we travel Pre-historic India, explore cave art and dinosaurs. We have 2 bonus science experiments as well. Check out the video and can you subscribe here.

        You can very well use paneer. I would recommend grating the paneer finely instead of pureeing it.
