Dried Yuba Soy Sticks, 200g · OOMAME

Dried yuba sticks are made from a delicate skin formed from soy milk, dried and shaped into sticks. It's a simple yet very useful ingredient: it's almost neutral in taste, readily absorbs sauces, broths, and seasonings, and adds a chewy, meaty, yet delicate texture to a dish without making it heavy.

They can be incorporated into hot pots, noodle soups, vegetable stir-fries, curries, Chinese dishes with soy sauce, mushroom stews, or tofu and plant-based protein dishes. They are especially suitable for those who want to expand their Asian pantry beyond noodles and sauces, and introduce a traditional, flexible, and versatile ingredient into their kitchen.

Tips
Soak the sticks in water until softened before cooking, then cut them to a convenient size. For soups and hot pots, you can add them after partial soaking so they continue to absorb the broth during cooking. For stir-fries, gently squeeze out excess water after soaking and stir-fry with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and vegetables.
