It’s also great for replacing cream, milk, butter, and eggs in cooking and baking. Silken is easily used as a substitute for dairy in yogurt, or ice cream, pudding, ice cream, smoothies, and sauces. It’s often still in a block, but falls apart easily because it is not curdled like the others. Silken resembles closely to a gelatin-type consistency that does not hold a shape very well. All of these vary in how much water is retained in the tofu. There are different textures for tofu: silken, soft, firm, and extra-firm.

The longer, the more pickle flavor you'll pack in there. Tofu should marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, but can marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If unable to cover it, just give it a quick toss once in a while so that all the tofu gets marinated.

Try to completely cover the tofu in the juices. Then cover your tofu with pickle juice to marinate. Thicker "patties" for burgers are great, or simply slice into ½ inch rectangles as pictured. After your tofu is pressed, slice it however you'd like.

Pressing the tofu removes the water (obviously), which gives the tofu the ability to soak up even more pickle-y flavor. Let it press for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you aren't in a rush.

What I do to press my tofu, is to simply wrap it in a clean kitchen towel and grab a few of my cookbooks and place on top. But for the best result you're gonna want to do a little (very simple) prep work. It's salty, savory and a really great way to use up the left over juice of your favorite pickles once they're all gone. Tofu is the perfect canvas to soak up any flavor of your choice and pickle juice is the perfect flavor punch to jam in there. Packing the flavor into this Quick Pickle Brined Tofu
