Grating super-firm tofu produces shredded strands that cook quickly and develop a meaty, chewy texture without pressing. Super-firm tofu is ideal because it is sturdy, dense, and resists falling apart during grating. The grated tofu is pan-fried until golden, which creates crisped edges and a satisfying mouthfeel. A flavor-rich sauce then permeates the shreds, making the result savory, slightly spicy, and garlicky. The final texture and flavor closely mimic ground chicken, offering a quick, deceptive meat substitute for savory preparations and a useful party-kitchen trick. Preparation is fast and accessible, making it suitable for weeknight meals and entertaining.
