About Fried tofu skin

Fried tofu skin, also known as yuba or bean curd skin, originates from East Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Japanese traditions. Made from the thin layer that forms on the surface of boiling soy milk, it is dried and later rehydrated before frying to achieve a crispy texture. Packed with plant-based protein, it is a popular choice for vegans and vegetarians, offering a meat-free option rich in essential amino acids. It also contains iron, calcium, and minimal carbohydrates, making it a healthy addition to balanced meals when consumed in moderation. However, frying adds fat and calories, depending on the oil used. Fried tofu skin is versatile, adding a satisfying crunch to stir-fries, soups, or snacks. While nutritious, portion control is key to managing its calorie content, especially if striving for a low-fat diet.
