Simple Tofu Dish with Mori-Nu Silken Tofu
I was super excited when I first 'discovered' these Tetra Pac packaged Mori-Nu silken tofu. Masako got me these lovely tofu packets from Germany. I have not seen silken tofu in such packaging before i.e. in Tetra Pac form. The tofu which I normally purchase from the Asian grocers here are in plastic casing, with easy to tear off plastic seal.I am curious about the tofu and did some online search. To my surprise, the manufacturer, Morinaga Nutritional Foods Inc. is actually an America based company who produced and distributed Mori-Nu tofu using the quality KAPI’s in-house developed soybeans. These packaged silken tofu was first introduced in USA in 1985 and later expanded to Europe in year 2003.
The selling point of the Mori-Nu silken tofu is its ingenious packaging. The airtight and shelf-stable box allows the tofu to be stored longer without refrigeration. The freshness and texture of the tofu is well preserved, although no preservatives is added.
For these who are residing in EU, you may purchase the Mori-Nu silken tofu from Amazon.uk. Check out the link here
Check out the texture of the tofu out from the tetra-pac. It looks indifferent from the normal silky tofu. Taste wise, as good as the normal silky tofu. Love it.
