There is a very popular Japanese rice bowl dish called ‘Oyako’ Don. The main ingredients of the dish are Chicken and Egg. I replaced Chicken with Yuba (Tofu Skin) for this dish. Yuba (Tofu Skin) is the film that is composed on the surface of the Soy Milk when it is heated. Japanese Yuba might …
When you want to cook something that is new to you, you probably try to use it for the dishes that are familiar to you. I tried to use ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin) for ‘Goma-ae’, a Japanese dish of vegetables dressed with sweet sesame seed sauce. I cook ‘Goma-ae’ very often and you can find many …
The other day, when I wanted to eat ‘Abura-age & Carrot Takikomigohan’, that is one of my favourite ‘Takikomigohan’ dishes, but I didn’t have ‘Abura-age’ (Fried Thin Tofu), I decided to use ‘Yuba’ (Tofu Skin) instead. ‘Yuba’ is very different from ‘Abura-age’, but both are made from Soy Beans.

You may wish to season with …

The Chinese Dried Tofu Skin Sticks (Bean Curd Sticks) that I purchased get softened in warm water very quickly. When the twisted sticks are rehydrated and softened, they tend to loosen up and go back to the sheets. Today I sliced them into noodles and made this salad. It’s a Vegan dish, that is packed …
Tofu Skin is called ‘Yuba’, ゆば OR 湯葉, in Japanese. I never liked it and I never ever cooked it in my life until today. As I have received requests for Tofu Skin recipes, I purchased Chinese Dried Tofu Skin and cooked it for the first time. The Chinese Tofu Skin is different from Japanese …
