Today, I used dried tofu for the first time. Soaked in cold water for a few
hours (the package said to do this for at elast 10 mins). I found it
continued to grow slowly over those hours.

Cubed it. It was firmer than regular tofu. Mmore spongy, too.And the taste
was extremely bland. It was still drier than regular fresh tofu.

Simmered it in a Thai-style coconut sauce (coconut milk, carrots, green
curry paste, lemon juice, dried tangerine skin, kaffir lime leaves, fish
sauce, lemon grass. Browned sauteed nions plus spring onios added towards
then end, then sprinkeled with coriander leaves).

It was wonderful. Much tastier than regular tofu: more bite, and it had
absorbed the flafvors better, too. I think this is a keeper, even it costs
mroe than the fresh stuff. Easy to keep in the pantry, too.
