Sweet Sesame Tofu
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the refrigerated prepared-foods or grab-and-go case at Whole Foods as an easy Asian-inspired meal or side for a quick lunch or weeknight dinner. It reads as wholesome and convenient with sesame and ginger flavors, but the pre-made vinaigrette and teriyaki sauces — plus texture-stabilizing additives — reveal industrial processing for smooth texture and longer shelf life.
