Multi-Use Tofu

Last week when I went to 99 Ranch, I decided to try this new "multi-use" tofu. I thought to myself that I could probably find some use for it. The end result was, shall we say, less of an adventure in cooking as it was more an adventure of trying to actually eat it.

When I saw the "multi-use" tofu, I assume that it had some firmness so that I could use it to cook. As soon as I drained the container and put it on the cutting board, it immediately started to fall apart. It had no firmness, and as soon as I would try to pick it up with my hands or move it, it started to crumble. Its lack of firmness was a real issue, especially since stirring the pot would result in more tofu breaking apart. Eating the tofu proved to be a huge disaster, and with the slightest pressure even my chopsticks would instantly go through the tofu like a knife through butter. I could only seem to eat the tofu if it was already on top of the food on my chopsticks or if I scooped it out of the bowl. So much for this "multi-use" tofu. My "soft" tofu is much firmer and holds up to my cooking.
