The Art of Texture: Silken Tofu
Silken tofu is one of the most deceptively simple ingredients in the kitchen. Its soft, fragile structure challenges even seasoned chefs. But in the hands of Luke Nguyen, it becomes a refined entrée—balanced, beautiful, and full of flavour.
Silken Tofu: Elevated Simplicity
Tofu has long been a staple in Asian cooking, celebrated for its versatility and ability to absorb flavour. In this recipe, Luke lightly fries silken tofu to a crisp, golden finish while keeping the centre soft and delicate. He then finishes the dish with a savoury soy-based sauce layered with fragrant ginger and scallions, creating contrast in both flavour and texture.
The B+S Advantage: Rapid Electric Fryer
For delicate ingredients like silken tofu, stability and accuracy in oil temperature are crucial. The B+S Rapid Electric Fryer gives chefs the control they need to strike that delicate balance—allowing the tofu to crisp quickly without drying out the centre. Its responsive heat control and commercial-grade durability make it a staple in Luke’s kitchen.
Why It Works
In the high-pressure environment of a commercial kitchen, timing, efficiency, and consistency aren’t optional—they’re essential. The Rapid Electric Fryer is engineered to deliver on all fronts, giving chefs the confidence to focus on technique, not temperature.
