⭐ Silken Tofu Puree (Best Fat-Free Option)
1:1 (1 tablespoon silken tofu puree per 1 tablespoon heavy cream) Quick tip: Provides creaminess with a neutral flavor; may slightly thicken the sauce but can reduce glossiness.
Silken tofu is high in protein and moisture, and when pureed, it creates a smooth, creamy texture that can substitute for heavy cream’s body in sauces. It stabilizes the sauce and prevents separation.
Blend tofu until completely smooth to avoid lumps, and add gradually to control thickness. Heat gently to prevent curdling or graininess.
While it provides creaminess, silken tofu may reduce the shiny glaze typical of Teriyaki sauce and can slightly mute flavors due to its mild taste.
