AF Chili Chunka Silken Tofu

I love tofu in all their permutations, even the smelly tofu. I like to think of it like an Asian type of cheese - except that it's made out of beans.  Silken tofu is one of the easiest one to enjoy with minimal cooking.  They take on the flavor so if you make something bold and delicious, silken tofu will be the conveyor of that deliciousness.  Eat this with rice and you'll enjoy every moment of it. 

We worked with friend Shilpa Iyer to create and style this recipe for your enjoyment.
