Tips
- Tofu is technically already cooked and is regularly eaten cold in countries like China and Japan
- Add more water and keep blending until the mixture resembles a thick and silky-smooth consistency
- Adjust the flavour to your liking, add more maple syrup if you like it extra sweet or more lemon zest if you like it more zesty.
- Store leftovers in an airt-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days
