Do you need to press the liquid out of the Tofu first?
I’d do a quick drain, no pull press necessary.
Great recipe, didnโt change anything. My wife was missing sour cream too an thi came out perfect.
So glad it worked out for you, Nick! Sour cream really is one of those things that you miss when you go dairy-free.
Is that a package of Mori-Nu Tofu in the recipe?
We’ve used several brands, it really just needs to be any kind of firm tofu.
