Firm Tofu
Firm or extra-firm Tofu has been aged a bit, and will be more solid (as the name implies).
Soy milk with a coagulant is poured into a vessel or mould. A cotton cloth is placed over top. When the bean cured has solidified, a weight is pressed on top to force some water out.
Owing to its lower water content, Firm Tofu is more solid than Silken Tofu, has a coarser texture, and retains its shape better when cut. When sliced, it almost appears to have a "grain" to its texture inside.
One of its names, Cotton Tofu, comes from its surface texture, which shows the weave of the cotton that the tofu is wrapped in to press the water out of it.
Cooking Tips
