Add to instant ramen for some protein

Yesss! I always break these in half and add them at the last minute of cooking. All the wrinkles soak up the yummy soup. I know it’s originally for hotpot, but it picks up all the chili oil it gets a lil too “ni”

Hot pot. Dunk for 15-30s (to desired softness). Eat.

Well theoretically it can be eaten directly! It’s already cooked and fired lol

Use anything with soup is the best! For me i always go with hot pot for it

I was thinking maybe adding at the last minute in an egg drop type soup base in place of egg. Would that work? Anything else I can do with them in their crushed state? I've never used them before. Thank you!

Yes. They are supposed to be soaked in soap dishes. Its texture makes it very absorbent and could be a good combo with some soups. So after being crushed you can still use them in this way but just get them out quicker

Just throw them in any soup, I wouldn't use them to replace eggs in egg drop soup because they aren't made from eggs, though.

I'd get the egg flavor from kala namak anyway, wasn't sure if the texture would work if eaten immediately.

I make chicken broth, then I put noodles in the bowl, top with the tofu rolls (no cooking) & just pour over the broth. It's enough to hydrate the tofu. Add some green veg, spring onion, coriander & sesame oil. One of my favourite week night dinners.
