I love anything squishy like a marshmallow, chalky like musk pencils, or really gummy chewy like Haribo gummy bears.
minus-squareTheBananaKing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoA couple of things to know: You need the ‘extra firm’ or ‘hard’ tofu - it should be as firm as a cooked chicken breast. The softer ones are just nasty for this. Cut in smallish cubes - 1cm is perfect - toss first with salt and a little olive oil, then a spoonful of cornflour. Spread out on parchment, then bake in a hot oven until they get some colour - around 20 min depending on a bunch of factors. A little chilli and garlic power in there makes them amazing, but now we’re getting into actual flavour :D
