Welcome to Snack Drop, a column where we give you the lowdown on all of the best new(ish) to market snacks that have come across our desks this month.
This month: rice bowl-ready soy ginger tuna, a dreamy ice cream collab, and tofu made for taking on the go (seriously).
TofuGo
Even before actually trying TofuGo, I had a strong feeling I’d become obsessed with it given my love for those blocks of smoked tofu (often flavored with five spice) commonly found in Chinese supermarkets. Once I got my hands on the product (which just launched last month), one bite was all it took to prove I was right—these deeply savory, soy-forward squares of shelf-stable compressed tofu are exactly what I want to eat at 3 p.m. when I need something to tide me over until dinner. While I love (and have long waxed poetic about) traditional protein bars, my cravings often lean savory in the afternoon, which is why I’ve loved having a stash of these in my desk drawer and work bag for easy snacking at the office or on the go. As I predicted, the texture of these is vaguely similar to that smoked tofu I grew up eating: firm and dense, with a slight chew reminiscent of jerky, all of which makes for an incredibly satisfying snack. —Alaina Chou, commerce writer
