Tofu Culture in China

Tofu Products

There are a lot of soybean products in China: tofu, fried tofu, dried tofu, soybean milk films, dried tofu cream sheets and soybean residues. All these products are ideal ingredients for gourmet dishes with distinctive flavors.

Soft/silken Tofu

With white color and a very tender texture, it contains the highest moisture content of all fresh tofu. This is the typical tofu in southern parts of China. It is usually used to make soup.

Firm Tofu

Typical tofu in north China has a yellowish color and bounces back when readily pressed. Because of its firm texture, it is suitable for stir-fry and can be picked up easily with chopsticks.
