Here’s an overview of how dried tofu is made:

  • Soybean preparation: The process begins with soybeans, which are soaked in water to rehydrate them and remove impurities. After soaking, the soybeans are ground into a fine paste.
  • Coagulation: The soybean paste is then heated, and a coagulant (usually calcium sulfate or magnesium chloride) is added to curdle the mixture. This results in the formation of solid curds.
  • Pressing: The curds are then pressed to remove excess moisture, leaving behind a more solid mass.
  • Shaping and drying: The pressed tofu is shaped into flat, thin sheets or sticks, which are then dried through various methods. Traditionally, they were sun-dried, but nowadays, commercial production uses ovens or dehydrators for more consistent results.

The dried tofu has a pale yellow or beige color, and its texture is rather firm and chewy. The drying process concentrates the soybean flavors and results in a slightly nutty and savory taste, making it a popular ingredient in a wide range of dishes.

Uses of dried tofu:

  • Rehydration and cooking: Before using dried tofu, it needs to be rehydrated in water. Once softened, it can be sliced, diced, or cut into strips, and then added to various stir-fries, soups, stews, and hotpots. It absorbs the flavors of the surrounding ingredients and adds its unique taste and texture to the dish.
  • Vegan and vegetarian dishes: Dried tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein and is often used in vegetarian and vegan recipes as a meat substitute.
  • Dim sum: In Chinese cuisine, dried tofu is commonly used as a filling for dim sum dishes like stuffed rolls or dumplings.
  • Snacks: In some Asian cultures, dried tofu can be enjoyed as a snack. It may be seasoned with spices or served with dipping sauces.
  • Braised dishes: Dried tofu is also used in braised dishes, where it soaks up the flavorful sauce, becoming tender and delicious.

Dried tofu is a versatile and nutritious ingredient that has been a staple in Asian cooking for centuries. Its popularity continues to grow as more people discover its unique taste and texture, and as plant-based diets gain traction worldwide.
