China, Cuisine → Tofu

Tofu is to China what cheese is to France, it comes in a variety of flavors and can be added to many dishes. Let’s take a look at the tofu making process in a small business in Yulin.
There was a distinctive smell inside this little shop. Tofu in Chinese is “豆腐” (doufu), which litterally means “rotten beans”, but I’m not sure if the name really describes what it actually is.
In the end, the freshly made tofu is cut to pieces and sold by weight.

Yum! Tofu. But those photos don’t instil much confidence about this small business’ hygene standards for tofu-making.

Sleeplow: I am not familiar with the pricing of tofu, but next time I go to a supermarket, I will check for you! However, this tofu was probably a little cheaper than what I will find in the supermarket.
Nicole: A decir verdad, tofu NO tiene sabor… pero se lo agrega a platos y asi absorba el sabor de los alimentos del plato por ejemplo carne, sopa, etc. Tofu es blanco y muy blando, parece a queso, pero mas blando.
Boris: Oui, en effet les conditions sanitaires semblent mauvaises, mais elles sont meilleures qu’elles n’y paraissent!
秦沛: As you know, after some time in China, your immune system becomes invincible!
