DID YOU KNOW? 🧐
Many Americans think of tofu as the original vegetarian meat replacement, but its role in cuisines around the world is far wider than that. Made from just soy milk (itself just soybeans and water) and a coagulant (usually an acid, salt or enzyme), tofu making is similar to making mozzarella, paneer, and other cheeses. Depending on how it’s produced, the final product can be creamy, firm or anywhere in between. Across Asia, it stars in both savory and sweet dishes, and often appears alongside meat rather than replacing it. (source)
