20 Best Tofu For Stir Fry (2023 Updated)

This is consistently the best tofu I’ve found in North America. Not lumpy, no weird bitter aftertaste. I’m really not sure why Tofu is consistently bad in the US and Canada, but this stuff is the real deal.

Please don’t ever stop stocking it! Wish you’d sell bulk :).

The silken tofu from Mori-Nu is very soft and delicate in texture, which is perfect for Japanese cuisine, especially miso soup. The flavor is very mild and creamy, so it can be used to thicken sauces and desserts.

Highly recommended!.

Wow! Used a fod processor to make chocolate mousse, so creamy smooth!! Have never used tofu to replace heavy whipping cream before, SCORE!! Will be using this again!!

I’m just starting to use tofu as a new vegan and as this product can be stored in a cupboard until opened it’s really convenient. Extra firm already has less water than standard tofu so has more protein per weight which is important if, like me, you workout to gain muscle.

Each individual 349g pack has 26g of protein, 7g of fat, 0g carbs and is only 178 calories. The neutral flavour means it can be flavoured with sweet, sour, savoury, spicy, herbs, or neutral like a yogurt, pretty much any taste you want.

Can now make things like low fat, no oil, high protein vegan mayo and vegan egg salad sandwiches (which I’ve been really missing!) I’ve checked with my local recycling, here in Leeds UK and the Tetra Pak packaging can be recycled.

Haven’t found this extra firm version in any of the 3 supermarkets I shop in, so will likely buy this online again. Was always wary of vegan recipes with tofu, but will now be able to explore much more variety in vegan cooking.

It is extra firm SILKEN tofu, meaning the texture/hold is loose not compact. This is good for tofu lovers. Silken, depending on firmness, can be used in smoothies, for vegan mayo, or fried with marinade.

In Asia, this is the texture of the tofu commonly used for fried tofu with sauce added after frying. This is good tofu scramble as well if you liked eggs scrambled to a runny soft texture. It’s good to have for emergency backup, but refrigerated or homemade tofu is best.

It’s difficult to find silken near me, however, so this is what I get.

This tofu is extra firm and silken. For me, I prefer the option of just extra firm, but not silken. That is just my taste preference. I used soy sauce, sesame, and wasabe furikake to override the “silken” aspect.

There are many who, on the other hand, prefer their tofu to have a silken texture and for whom this will be a perfect tofu.

Great flavor and nicely balanced. This tofu is great in a stir fry and crisps up nicely. I have enjoyed trying all of their varieties; however, the teriyaki is my go-to favorite. I would recommend this product for anyone who is willing to experiment and give tofu a try.

There is nothing more simple than this teriyaki tofu! Cut it in cubes and throw it in a skillet to heat up with some broccoli or green beans and throw over rice, and you have a healthy meal in 10 minutes.

Tofu is one of my favorite foods but I generally buy it plain and then flavor it up myself. When I’m in a pinch though I really like this tofu. Good flavor and texture and the convenience factor is definitely there.

This tofu can stay in my cabinet until I open it up. It has lots of protein, about 25 g per box. Low sodium, no cholesterol and low carbs – 8g for whole box. Here are some of the things I make with it: vegan ricotta for lasagna, chocolate pudding, onion dip for chips, salad dressings, mayo with no eggs, cheesy sauce to put on noodles and many more creations.

I have found recipes online using tofu as a base for many many dishes. Just don’t eat it straight from the box, it doesn’t taste good until you add it to other foods or add flavors and spices.

For some reason I can’t find this brand in my area. And when I do, they charge too much. I use this extra firm for making pies – mainly vegan pumpkin pie. It is also great for whips and puddings. I won’t use any other brand or any other firmness for these purposes.

Wal-Mart has a great price, too!! The best part is that this tofu is shelf-stable and will last forever. FYI, this is not the same as the “regular” tofu so will not work the same in all recipes, obviously.

It is softer and smoother and slightly different flavor.

I live in a part of Hawaii where the clerks in the local not-so-super markets wear bandit masks and charge close to $4 for a package of refrigerated tofu. Walmart to the rescue. A few clicks, a few days, and Fedex pulls up to my door with tofu that lasts for a long time without taking space in my refrigerator.

I would say the extra firm Mori-Nu is about equal to medium in a refrigerated tofu. As another reviewer suggested, freezing the tofu will make it chewier. I prefer to cut it into slices then freeze the slices on a plastic or wax paper sheet.

There’s no need to defrost the slices before frying.

I like the product, but the packing and shipping from your company left a lot to be desired. All the tofu containers were bent and smashed. Also the use by dates were not very far out: this fall. This is shelf stable, so it should be longer lasting.

I jumped on the soy products band wagon when I was a preteen, now 41. Tofu is highly versatile. Deserts, snacks, smoothies, Meat alternatives, main meals, entrees, sides, you can do almost anything with it.

I love and enjoy Tofu. You can’t buy any vegetarian products in my area. Thank you Swanson.

I bought a large amount for my work snack. I just dice it up without any cooking and sprinkle a little seasonings on it for my protein snack during work. Love that it is pleasing as a tasty fast snack that keeps me feeling full.

Keeps at room temp and love that it stays good once opened in the fridge for at extended amount of days.

I like this House Food Tofu. I know many people don’t like tofu, but I love it. We prepare it by soaking it in soy sauce for a little while on each side. We then put a little bit of olive oil in a pan and fry them until they are crispy on both sides.

Tofu is soybean curd; it is often used as a meat substitute. It is a good source of protein and fiber without the cholesterol and saturated fat found in meat. You can also eat tofu raw; I make it like egg salad.

I like to get the firm or extra firm; it cooks better. If you’ve never had tofu, I recommend trying it at least; you might be surprised.

I love tofu and I love house foods. House Foods makes great tofu that is readily available and affordable. I cook with it often and I am never disappointed by the quality. Seriously if you haven’t tried tofu try it and fuel your imagination as the possibilities are truly endless with tofu.

It is extra firm and just like any homemade tofu. Can be used in any receipes. Personally, I always use it for stir fry tofu and turns out perfect and tofu doesn’t break while cooking!

So I know this is silken tofu, but why put “firm” on it when it is nothing of the sort? Very misleading, especially when the word firm is bigger than the word silken. I used it in a stir fry and when I realised it wasn’t the type of tofu I was after (got it as a substitute) and realised it was better for scramble or dessert i thought I’d use it as an egg replacement mixed in with the noodles.

but nope, tasted awful. Not something I would ever buy again.

This is our 2nd order from here and we already made a 3rd one. Fast fresh and authentic Japanese products. Highly recommend also prices are lower then most Asian markets in the area and way more selection.

This is best served heated whole on plate with strong toppings such as chilli, ginger and spring onions or Chinese condiments such as soy sauce and sesame oil. A good standby for a vegan meal.

Excellent tofu product! It’s one of the easiest to find. It is easy to cook with and has a great texture. If pressed first, it absorbs the flavors of any sauces or marinades will. One block is a good portion for 2 people if used as a main protein.

Added to curries and stir-fries it can feed 4-6, depending on the number of veggies added. I purchase this product often.

I love tofu! Sometimes I’m not curious about the brand as long as it’s tofu lol! It’s delicious depending on how you cook it! Improve your tofu experience by cooking it creatively like mapo tofu! You can also add mushrooms into it and make it spicy.

I also made sisig[slice it tiny] tofu mixed with spices, egg, mayonnaise and there’s moe recipes you can make with tofu! I love this brand! It’s organic the price is inexpensive! Tofu is the best replacement for pork or any meat! I love.

Super price, great quality. Every Walmart in my local area has had this in stock and never seems to run out of it. Just like other good tofu’s, there are plenty of ways to prepare and cook with it. And compared with other kinds of protein, the price cannot be beat.

Works for me!.

I love this extra firm tofu because it’s really yummy when I deep fried it. When I eat this tofu deep fried it can replace meat. It’s my healthier version. I recommend people to deep fried this and dip it in the Asian sweet sauce.

The best appetizer.

I really like this tofu. It’s easy to find in most stores and its has a good taste and texture. It’s in water so it takes a little longer to strain than the vacuum packed tofu but I dont mind too much.

I would definitely recommend if you like extra firm tofu.

I absolutely love this tofu, however I do not love that it is hardly ever in stock. Seven out of ten times I usually am not lucky enough to find this specific brand of tofu from a Walmart visit. when I am lucky enough to get my hands on some, there is absolutely nothing to complain about as it cooks beautifully.

Must use immediately! If you do not, it will not hold up well enough to eat. We pressed it to soak the water out, then used it in our homemade pad Thai. It’s perfect! It fries up really nice and tastes.

well. tofu doesn’t have a taste but it tastes as well as you make your dish! If you see it at the store and the packaging is puffy, don’t buy it, that means it’s old. I almost did that the other day.

Tofu is a complicated animal, make sure you do your research on how to cook it if you’re new to it!.

I’m so glad to find this brand of Tofu at my local Walmart. Before trying this I had to travel way out of my way to an Asian family grocery which had the same size container for the same price (or more depending on import price changes).

The type of tofu at the small grocery seemed to spoil much faster than this brand (which is fine if you like “stinky tofu” considered medicinal in some countries) so it’s quality and availability was less reliable.

I use tofu as a meat substitute to give more ‘bulk’ to rice, soups, ramen etc. Unlike meats, tofu is easier to digest particularly in the evening and provides protein and calcium. Many Westerners consider it boring tasting (similar to diet gelatin) but it can be ‘spiced’ up and reconfigured in hundreds of creative ways such as in traditional Vietnamese cuisine!.

Excellent flavor and texture. Highly reccomend Nasoya brand. I use for savory dishes; marinating, air frying, stir fries. Mori-nu silken is another great brand if you’re looking for silken type.

This is the best/easiest to use tofu I’ve ever purchased. It just needs wiped off with a paper towel or something and then can be sliced up and cooked without pressing. I just slice it up and toss the pieces in dry spices in a bowl, then air fry them without oil for 9 minutes @ 330 degrees.

They come out perfect for noodle dishes, etc.

Ready to cook. No pressing necessary. I make tofu scramble with it. Add some veggies, turmeric, and don’t forget the black salt (makes it taste just like eggs). Yum!

Firstly, this is not a firm stir frying type of tofu. This is soft and creamy great for sauces, desserts, smoothies, substitute for egg for scramble & omlettes. I’ve used it to make vegan quiche too.

Also lovely as a vegan sour cream dip too.

By far the best brand of tofu out there for when I just want to make an easy meal by heating up some vegetables and throwing some tofu on top. Excellent. Also this is probably the best price I’ve seen for this particular product.

It disintegrated and was not particularly edible. There are definitely better tofu products.

I have used Nasoya Organic tofu for many years. My trade is as a vegan pantry cook. I have found Nasoya to be top rate at soaking up sauces from curries to tomatoes. It browns well. Stays firm. The silken is lovely in dips.

The cost is reasonable and lower than most brands. I recommend Nasoya Tofu before other brands always.

I always buy Nasoya tofu! I love how budget front they are and they’re a brand I find everywhere! I also love how they have so many tofu options and ans are non gmo. They’re a tofu brand I trust and continue to repurchase.

I love using their firm tofu for tofu scrambles because its soft and super egg-like. I love their super firm tofu for stir-fry’s and their silken tofu for mixing in to my homemade tofu scramble recipe or for my homemade caesar dressing recipe! They always work great and never fail me!.

This tofu was good. I usually get firm or extra firm tofu. This one was good. I put it in a salad with avocados, kidney beans, black beans, and corn. So good. I also fried some and put it in a stir fry.

Put a little soy sauce over it and put it on rice. It’s an easy and quick meal.

My Kindergartener is a very picky eater. Getting healthy choices inside her, without a battle, can be daunting. Luckily she loves the House Foods Extra Firm Tofu. Even more amazing is that she loves it straight out of the package! Zero prep and zero argument is a win in this mama’s book! I give it to her in large chunks that she can pick up and eat by hand – the extra firm texture makes this a finger food if you are 6! She will actually select this tofu as a snack many days out of a list of much less healthy options 🙌 Last minute school lunchboxes are a breeze when I make sure to always have a few of these in the fridge!.

I actually have this in my fridge right now! Although I am no longer a complete vegetarian, I still love this product in a stir fry. The extra firm or firm is a must for stir fries, though. Delicious, high quality, and affordable – and a great meat substitute!.

This tofu has great ingredients and it’s multi purpose. It’s not the kind of tofu that has taste or salads or more flavor I prefer smoked tofu, so you really need to pair it with a sauce or very flavorful dishes.

I also think it’s quite usable as dairy or egg replacement in recipes, just like the softer ones.

Nasoya Organic Silken Tofu is so versatile. I used this for so many dishes. From blending it into a creamy sauce or dicing it up for a stir fry. It can do so much! I always have a least 2 of these on hand.

Tofu is my favorite vegan protein and Nasoya is always a great option.

love this product! Low sodium, bold flavor, sustainable packaging, all around amazing. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it! High expectations and it met them all! Everyone I talk to has now started drinking it!.

I bought this to try to put into miso soup and I love it, it has a great texture and it taste great. The firmness is just right in my opinion as it is very light and yet does not break apart easily. It is also reasonably priced.

Definitely will buy again, highly recommend.

I always keep a couple of boxes of these in my cupboard! Their expiry date is usually a long way out, so I always have a box for emergencies! Brilliant in a stir-fry – yum!

Great product for a really good price. I love using this in tofu scramble but also blended into desserts and smoothies

The only tofu brand that I purchase. You can find them almost everywhere. From Walmart to ralphs and Publix and Trader Joe’s. They are very cheap for about $2. I love the endless possibilities you have with tofu.

This brand is amazing.

Oh my gosh it’s great to tryouts I tried it it’s greates thing ever I tried you just give it try and enjoy I enjoyed I am sure you will too it’s really great

I LOVE anyting Hodo makes and trust me, this tofu did not dissapoint. I love that you dont have to worry about the extra moisture and pressing with this. Just pop your tofu in the air fryer, over, or frying pan, season and you’re good to go! Bravo Hodo, another hit!.

This tofu seems pre-pressed. It cuts, bakes, and fries really well. Tastes great in all of our recipes. Does not crumble and fall apart like some other tofu brands. It is worth a little extra for the taste and consistency!.

Love this Tofu. Recently got several packages on sale from my local health foods store. I was pleasantly pleased with the flavor of the tofu. It lasts very well in the freezer and can be put into soups frozen.

Love cutting it up into small cubes for any soup, crumbling for burritos or tacos, and pan frying as well.

This is amazing tofu, I like the teriyaki and the thai flavors. They are so easy to prepare, just cut, heat and eat. I add mine to salad, pasta, or veggies. The price is great and since they are so simple you don’t have to know how to prepare the tofu, you don’t have to fry it or season it, it’s already done for you! I would give it more stars if there was an option.

I recommend this highly as I use it all the time being a vegetarian. LOVE IT!!.
