Dried tofu, also known as dougan, is a versatile soybean product originating from Chinese cuisine. It is made by pressing and drying tofu to remove excess moisture, resulting in a firm, dense texture. Packed with plant-based protein, dried tofu serves as an excellent meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and magnesium, it also provides a healthy dose of dietary fiber. Low in fat and carbohydrates, dried tofu is ideal for weight management and heart health when prepared without heavy sauces. However, some versions may contain added sodium during processing, making moderation important for those monitoring their salt intake. Its chewy texture and deep flavor make it a popular ingredient in stir-fries, soups, salads, and Asian-inspired dishes. Whether served as a snack or incorporated into main courses, dried tofu is a nutritious and delicious option for a balanced diet.
