For those who can't find the packages of silken tofu, here's a hint to substitute regular tofu, the type you buy in blocks floating in water.

Drain the block(s) of tofu well, then steam over boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain on a rack to cool, and press to remove as much water as possible. The steaming will inactivate the enzymes in the tofu which can cause your recipe to separate and become watery. Use the cooled tofu as directed in the recipe. (*note - the carb count will be slightly higher for regular tofu - check the label)

Happy lowcarbing,

Doreen
