Episode 12: Friends who help friends love tofu
This week, Kari comes to Sonya looking for support… and admits she’s been having some challenges with tofu. Like a true Food Friend, Sonya steps up to help Kari find her way back to making delicious tofu at home.
This episode explores different ways to cook tofu beyond basic pan-frying, encourages you to freeze your tofu (who knew!), and describes several ways that silken tofu can be delicious in both savory and sweet dishes.
