April is National Soyfoods Month and I partnered with the Soyfoods Association to bring you this giveaway.
Included in the giveaway:
WildWoods product voucher for any of their soy food products
I’ve had my tofu press for a few years and would not make tofu without it.
Pressed tofu is firmer and cooks up so much better than unpressed tofu. The difference is night and day in the finished product.
It does a fabulous job of pressing out the water, which is contained neatly inside the little box.
Sure, you can press tofu between two heavy frying pans but wiping up the water that is released with dozens of paper towels is a messy and inconvenient chore.
In honor of National Soy Foods Month, did you know that:
Soyfoods are rich in nutrients and promote healthy eating.
Soyfoods are also a great source of iron, fiber, magnesium and zinc.
Fruit soy smoothies with soymilk or soy yogurt are a fun way to ensure proper calcium, and soy burgers or soy crumbles in place of ground beef are a great way to reduce calories, cholesterol and saturated fast.
Soy meat substitutes, such as soy ground, cook up in a fraction of the time it takes for traditional meats, and it’s ideal for pre-made meals that can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator.
Cooking with soy also provides an excellent opportunity for families to spend quality time together because unlike traditional meats, there is little concern about cooking through or cross contamination, so kids can be more involved in the meal preparation.
Soyfoods make delicious meals. They are great as a staple ingredient or used as a substitute in a favorite recipe.
Here are some of my favorite tofu recipes:
Pumpkin Honey Tofu. This turns out like spongy pumpkin “bread”. Very soft, chewy, and pliable infused with pumpkin flavor.
Salsa Verde Pepperjack Tofu (Microwave & Vegan) Use soy-based cheese along with the tofu
I shared my Tofu Preparation & Cooking Tips in this post from baking to broiling, freezing to pressing.

I’ve tried this several times and really love this marinade. Would love not to have to stack my plates with alternating paper towels anymore. Check it out:

I love tofu simply sautéed in some soy sauce
That is so funny, just earlier this week I was baking tofu for a recipe and I got so frustrated over how many paper towels I had to waste just to press the tofu with a pan. I am a vegetarian of almost a year now, and this handy tool would be very useful in not only continuing my meat free diet, but also in making more yummy things to convince my husband to ditch the meat (;
I’ve never tried pressed tofu before! Looks good and a very interesting idea. I love tearing up a block of tofu and sneaking it into a pot of chili in place of ground beef. It’s an excellent substitute.
I love chunks of plain raw tofu in salads…but I suspect pressed tofu would be even better!
soy milk! and definitely tofu
Winning the tofu express would help us save on paper towels when we enjoy your tofu recipes!
My favourite way to have tofu is really simple and delicious…
I eat it thinly sliced on a slice of toast with marmite on it, it tastes like cheese and is really nice!
Healthy and scrumptious, that’s what I like! :)
Ooh i love your peanut sauce tofu…but it’s never quite right because I can’t press it well! I NEED to win to experience the full glory of your genius and tofu’s possibilities!!
