Dry bean curd, also known as dried tofu or doufu gan in Chinese cuisine, is a highly nutritious soy-based product. Originating in East Asia, it is made by pressing tofu until the moisture is removed, resulting in a dense, firm texture. Rich in plant-based protein, it is an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans looking to meet their dietary needs. It also contains essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and magnesium, offering support for bone health and energy production. Dry bean curd is low in fat and free of cholesterol, making it heart-healthy, though its sodium content can vary depending on preparation and flavoring, so moderation may be needed for those monitoring salt intake. Its versatility makes it popular in stir-fries, soups, and salads across Asian cuisines, providing a wholesome and satisfying option for balanced meals.
