Notes
Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to ensure optimal texture. For extra creaminess, allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. Adjust seasonings to taste, and consider adding hot sauce or smoked paprika for extra flavor. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
