things people ask

• How many grams in a teaspoon of tofu yogurt?
  About 5.46 g for a level teaspoon. Heaped, you're closer to 7-8 g, but tofu yogurt's loose texture means it slumps off the spoon if you overload it. For recipes calling for 'a teaspoon to taste' — a dab in a sauce, a half-portion for a baby's first taste of cultured food — the level measure is what most cooks default to.
• When would a recipe call for tofu yogurt by the teaspoon?
  Vinaigrettes that want a whisper of creaminess without becoming a creamy dressing — one teaspoon emulsifies a tablespoon of vinegar and three of oil into something silkier than a straight shaken vinaigrette. Also baby food: parents introducing fermented foods often start with a single teaspoon mixed into mashed fruit, which is roughly 5 g of cultured soy protein.
• Is a teaspoon of tofu yogurt enough to activate baking soda in a recipe?
  On its own, no — 5.46 g of mildly acidic cultured soy doesn't carry enough acid to lift a full batch of pancakes or quick bread. You'd need at least a tablespoon or two for that. A teaspoon's worth is better thought of as a flavor accent in a recipe that already has lemon juice or vinegar handling the leavening chemistry.
