Tips

  • Shredding tofu is a great way for those who dislike tofu’s texture to include it in their diets.
  • No need to press the tofu before shredding it.
  • The firmer the tofu, the more nutrients (carbs, protein, fat, calories) it has, with extra-firm tofu having the most protein and silken tofu the least.
  • Serve on buns with a side of coleslaw and baked fries if desired
