Silken Tofu

Silken tofu is also called Japanese tofu ... here in North America, it's sold in little cardboard Tetra paks. Mori Nu is the most common brand around .. here's their website, (just so you can see what it looks like) ... http://www.morinu.com/litetofu.html ... Its texture is very smooth and custard-like, but there's no egg in it, it's just soy ... tofu. It's great to puree and use in sauces or baking or whipped up as a cream ... and it doesn't separate or go watery. Believe it or not, the low FAT silken tofu is lower in carbs than the regular .. 3 oz (85 gm) of the lite has only 0.7 gm carbs ... the regular is 1.6 gm.

So I'm told, the blocks of tofu that one buys floating in a tub of water is known as Chinese tofu ... go figure.
