What goes with Smoked Tofu?
Smoked tofu combines pressed soybean curd with a smoke treatment and often soy sauce or salt. It is generally denser and less watery than plain firm tofu, but the cure and smoking wood vary. A brown exterior does not prove a crisp crust. Check the ingredient list before seasoning: some blocks already contain enough salt for an entire preparation.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Smoked Tofu?
Give smoke a counterweight rather than surrounding it with more smoked ingredients. Mushrooms add juicy earthiness, fresh alliums bring lift, and measured citrus sharpens the surface. Dense grain preparations need enough moisture to avoid a dry, compact mouthful. For a sharper partner such as horseradish, retain a cool portion so its fresh heat arrives separately from the browned tofu.
