“Silken tofu”, however, is a slightly different thing: it’s softer than regular tofu, doesn’t come packed in water, and has specialist applications. Over the years, Meera Sodha has furnished Guardian readers with dozens of recipes for vegan tofu dishes. Yotam Ottolenghi’s caponata with silken tofu. For Ottolenghi’s fiery breakfast of scrambled tofu with avocado and cucumber salad, he uses silken tofu and goes at it with a potato masher until it resembles scrambled eggs. Jamie Oliver makes a version of chocolate mousse with silken tofu, but if you’ve only got ordinary firm tofu on hand, you can also have a go at this chocolate mousse recipe from John Quilter.
