Deeply satisfying and umami-rich, koya dofu is a freeze-dried version of traditional tofu with a long shelf life and remarkable ability to absorb flavor. When simmered in a gently sweet dashi, a miso-laced broth, or any seasoned liquid of your choosing, it transforms into something tender, spongy and full of character -- with just the right amount of bite. Each mouthful soaks up the essence of the simmering broth, delivering concentrated flavor in every soft, springy square. Delicious when served warm and freshly prepared, koya dofu is also enjoyable cold or at room temperature. Long used in traditional Japanese Buddhist temple cuisine ("Shōjin Ryōri"), koya dofu is often featured in dishes that recreate the look, texture and even flavor of meat- or fish-based dishes -- all while staying entirely plant-based.

Suggested Uses: In order to use koya dofu, it must first be rehydrated by soaking it in warm water. Next, squeeze out the water and simmer the koya dofu in a flavored broth or soup. It can also be added directly to miso and noodle soups without being rehydrated first. Koya dofu can be added to curries such as a Japanese curry or a Thai green curry. It can be crumbled up and added to gyoza or meatballs. It can be skewered to grill Yakitori-style or added to stir-fries. It can be served cold or at room temperature with chilled salads or alongside grains in a bento box.
Substitutions: Koya dofu can easily be used in place of regular tofu. Crumbled up it can take on the qualities of ground meat. Grilled or in a curry, it can take the place of grilled chicken pieces. Koya dofu could also be used in place of paneer in a twist on Palak Paneer.
