I recently discovered some Tofu Skin (Bean Curd Skin) products can be used as noodles. Some products might be too soft, but the Chinese Bean Curd Sticks I purchased have firmer texture. When the twisted sticks are rehydrated and softened, they can be cut into noodles. These noodles can be a life saver for those who have gluten allergy. And you know Tofu Skin is a great source of protein as it is made of Soy Beans.
Makes
1 Serving
Ingredients
20g Dried Chinese Tofu Skin Sticks (Bean Curd Sticks) *I used 4 sticks

Method
