For you. It’s a game changer.

Boil the tofu in salted water for six minutes. Tear it up into pieces before you boil it. The tofu will then take on the flavors of whatever else you’re cooking at an enhanced rate.

As we both know, tofu does this anyway. If you try this method with a sauce like hoisin, for example, you will find it exceptionally delicious.
