Question:

Does using extra or super firm tofu to avoid pressing compromise the flavor of dishes?
— Beth Gonzales
Answer:
No, the flavor usually stays the same. Um, extra or super firm tofu or like just, you know, so, so similar to each other. Like if you were doing silk and tofu, your tofu would just kind of melt into the dish. But extra or super firm tofu are so close, um, to each other. They're pretty much gonna do the same thing in any, um, dish flavor and they absorb the flavor the same way at the same time.
