About Tofu Skin
The whole soy-milk film lifted and dried; protein density like bean-stick.
Health Benefits of Tofu Skin
Bean-skin vs bean-stick
Both come from soy milk's surface film; bean-skin (豆腐皮) is lifted as one whole thin sheet while bean-stick is pulled into strips. Bean-skin is thinner and larger with slightly less fat. At ~44.6g protein per 100g it's an equally protein-dense plant food.
The all-purpose wrapper of vegetarian cooking
Flexible and foldable, it's a 'wrapper' used to make vegetarian 'chicken', 'goose', 'ham'. Wrap vegetable shreds and mushroom shreds, steam or braise, then slice to reveal neat layers - good-looking and tasty. Bean-skin rolls are classic hotpot/ma-la-tang items that absorb broth well.
Rehydrating and storing dry bean-skin
Dry bean-skin soaks faster than bean-stick - 10-15 min in warm water softens it. Soaked, slice into strips for cold dishes (with cucumber, carrot, sesame paste) or roll with meat filling to steam. Sealed and dry it keeps several months - a handy pantry protein.
