Tofu: What is it?
Tofu is a product made from soy milk, which has been thickened. In English, the term “bean curd” is also used to refer to tofu. Tofu is easy to prepare since you only need a little lemon juice and a little salt in addition to soy milk. It is a process similar to that of cheese. More specifically, tofu has many shapes, sizes, textures, and flavors, and we can choose what we want to use depending on the recipe we want to make. In this recipe, we will use natural tofu, which we often find on supermarket shelves.
