Yuba (Tofu Skins)

Fresh Yuba

Yuba has been called tofu’s “sexy and elegant cousin”. Yuba, or tofu skin, is the Japanese word for the tender “skin” that forms on the top of heated soymilk. This is one of the most prized forms of soy: delicate and labor-intensive. When made fresh, yuba is unlike any other type of food and is prized for its texture and creaminess. These thin sheets of soy can be cut in the form of noodles, used as a wrap, or pressed into blocks. But like many of Hodo’s products, yuba is terrific eaten simply, like fine sashimi. Ingredients: soybeans, filtered water.
