Doufu, also known as tofu, is a versatile food made from soybeans. It is produced by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into solid blocks. Doufu comes in various textures, including silken, soft, firm, and extra firm, making it suitable for a wide range of dishes. Rich in protein and low in calories, doufu is a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. It can be used in savory dishes, such as stir-fries and soups, or sweet recipes, like desserts. Additionally, doufu absorbs flavors well, making it a great ingredient in many cuisines, especially in Asian cooking.
