Indeed, Chiba tofu is similar in color and layering to tofu, except that there is no soybean in the raw material. The key raw materials are soybean oil and soybean protein isolate, which belong to bean food, not tofu and tofu products. Taste and nutrients are essentially different from tofu. Many people didn't know this before. In fact, besides Chiba tofu, there are four kinds of food named after "tofu" in our life, but none of them are real tofu. I learned a lot.
Japanese Tofu Although Japanese tofu is also called "tofu", it has nothing to do with tofu in your cognitive ability. Japanese tofu, also known as "Yu Zi tofu" and "raw egg tofu", is made by mixing raw eggs with Japanese bone soup and cooking in a container.
In short, it is our common custard, but it is named "tofu" because its material is soft and tender and looks like tofu. In its ingredient list, it means "water, raw eggs, soy protein, salt and their additives".
Rice tofu rice tofu, I don't know if you know it. Moisturizing and smooth, moderate strong acid and alkali, refreshing taste. It is a local specialty snack in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hunan and Guizhou. Although rice tofu is called "tofu", it is not a bean food in the traditional definition in a strict sense. This kind of rice bean curd is made by washing rice, soaking it in water, grinding it into sticky rice noodles, cooking it with alkali and refrigerating it.
Sweet almond tofu, a traditional food in Jiangsu, is not well known by friends in the northern region. It features delicious snacks, such as this dish at the Manchu-Han banquet. It can become a special snack independently, and it can also be used as a banquet cabbage, which is also found in many parts of the country.
However, the methods are different. The key method is to use almond pulp and then boil it in water. It will be sliced after freezing. It is famous for its shape close to tofu. It tastes cool, sweet and delicious, relieves summer heat and reduces fever, and is a top grade suitable for summer consumption.
Fish tofu fish tofu, also named after tofu, is also called fried fish cake. In fact, it is a fish sauce (fish made into mud) product. A little fish sauce with soy protein powder and cassava starch, squeezed, boiled, fried, fried, and finally looked golden yellow. It doesn't taste fishy, and it is still very popular with everyone. Usually hot pot restaurants are inseparable from its shadow, but it is not with tofu.
Tofu, the outstanding bean food, is used to cook all kinds of delicious food in daily life, so popular that many foods that are not tofu are similar in appearance or some characteristics.
I don't shy away from rubbing the name tofu, but except Chiba tofu, the four foods are not real tofu, and the nutritional level will definitely be different from tofu. Do you know what is not tofu but contains the name of tofu?
