Hopefully you know by now how much I LOVE tofu. I counted recently and I have over 70 tofu recipes on my blog with a LONG list of tofu recipes I can’t wait to work on. And yet, I’m somehow only just now trying out grated tofu after seeing several people on TikTok making it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was skeptical at first that this would work. I worried that the tofu would fall apart and be too difficult to grate but it actually works so well! The final product really mimics shredded chicken and I really love that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very impressed and will most certainly be making this a lot more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to shred tofu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shredding tofu is surprisingly easy to do! It’s just like shredding a block of cheese, honestly. I like to cut the tofu in half so that it’s easier to hold in my hand. Then I just grate the tofu using the large grate of a box grater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a full video on how I make this recipe at the bottom of the recipe card down below. You can reference that for a visual on how I do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of tofu is best to use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I almost always use extra-firm tofu in my recipes and this one is no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly suggest getting either firm OR extra firm tofu and make sure to press it<\/a> before shredding it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe’s also makes a high protein tofu that is considered “super firm”. It’s one of my all time favorite tofu’s to buy AND it doesn’t have nearly as much excess water in it so it doesn’t need to be pressed before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
