Bean Curd

Dried Bean Curd Sheets and Sticks Also called bean curd skins or Chinese yuba, these are made from the skin that forms on soymilk when it is heated. Dried bean curd comes in many shapes - the sheets and sticks are two of the more common ones. The sticks resemble yellow icicles, while bean curd sheets are flat squares. Normally dried bean curd is reconstituted prior to using, unless it is being simmered or the dish is meant to be quite crispy. One of popular dishes is vegetarian bean curd rolls, where the sheets are simmered in seasoned water in the wok, and then wrapped with seaweed. Storage: Keep in a cool place indefinitely
