A Traditional Chinese Delicacy
Bean curd stick is a byproduct of soy milk. When soy milk is slowly simmered, a thin golden film forms on the surface. This film is carefully lifted off, dried, and can be shaped into various forms, such as sheets, strips, or threads. If you're looking for a high-protein, traditional Asian delicacy or a versatile ingredient for healthy cooking, you must try bean curd stick. It has a delicate texture and is nutrient-rich, making it not only a favorite among Chinese people but also increasingly popular among global food enthusiasts, vegetarians, and health-conscious individuals.
How is tofu skin made?
- Preparing soybeans: High-quality soybeans are soaked, ground, and filtered to produce fresh soy milk.
- Slow cooking: The soy milk is gently heated in a large pot. As the temperature rises, the proteins and fats in the soy milk rise to the surface, forming a thin membrane.
- Extraction: Workers skillfully lift this membrane with bamboo sticks, ensuring its delicate structure remains intact.
- Drying: Fresh tofu skin is dried naturally in the sun or in a controlled environment to preserve its texture and extend its shelf life.
This is a traditional production method that requires patience. Each batch of soy milk can only produce a few layers of tofu skin, but the final product is rich in flavor and nutrients.
