How to use
Ingredients
- Soybeans(Soy milk film)
Instructions
- [Prep/Usage]
- [Rehydrating (Must)] Very hard, so soak in plenty of water (or warm water) for hours to half a day to completely soften to the core before use.
- Cut rehydrated Fuzhu to easy-to-eat 5cm lengths.
- [Luwei (Taiwanese Braise)] Simmer slowly with pork or daikon in star anise soy sauce. The sauce enters the gaps in Fuzhu's layers, yielding satisfaction surpassing meat.
- [Liangban (Cold Dish)] Tossing boiled Fuzhu with cucumber, celery, sesame oil, garlic, and black vinegar creates a refreshing staple snack in Taiwanese Xiaochi shops (Liangban Fuzhu).

Trivia
[For Health Conscious] The 'Bamboo' in the name comes from its wrinkled, stick-like appearance resembling bamboo. Unlike delicate Japanese fresh Yuba, it has a firm bite and acts beautifully as a 'meat substitute (vegetarian cuisine)'. A mass of quality plant protein; the ultimate dried good offering guilt-free fullness while dieting.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Heavily line the bottom of a strong-flavored 'Hongshao Rou (Braised Pork)' pot with Fuzhu, letting it absorb pork fat and soy sauce to the last drop to make 'Yuba that surpasses meat'!
