Tofu skin is made from the cream of soy milk that is skimmed and hung to dry. Once the boiling soy milk's surface slightly hardens, it is picked up with a stick and left to dry. After drying, it is packed in sheets or rolled up and used in various dishes. It is cut into pieces and sautéed in soups or stir-fried with vegetables. We make amazing nuggets out of the skin mixed with flour and vegetables. You can buy tofu skin at most Asian shops.

We rolled up the tofu skins for this recipe to resemble sausage links. After cutting them into pieces, they become delicious, chewy bites that serve as excellent protein vessels for the Sweet Sour Sauce and pair beautifully with rice. This quick and simple dish is another creative way to add variety to your weekly menu.

Nutritional Benefits: Tofu offers numerous benefits from an Ayurvedic perspective, being especially beneficial for women during various stages of life, including menstrual and menopausal periods. Rich in plant-based protein and phytoestrogens, tofu can help support hormonal balance and alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, dry skin, and low bone density.
