What is fried bean curd roll?
Soybeans have been a staple of Asian cuisine for thousands of years. Soy and soy foods are popular among people adapting to vegetarian and vegan diets. Not only because of soy’s complete protein structure, but also the versatility of soy to be substituted in dairy and meat diets.
There is an interesting story about the Fried Bean Curd Roll, saying that in the ancient Han dynasty of China, the crispy fried tofu skin dish has become very popular. A man came into the restaurant specifically to order the “crispy fried” dish. Unfortunately, the raw materials for tofu skin have been sold out. This man does not give up, he then rides his horse to travel to the original place to get the raw material of tofu skin himself. The chef was impressed by his obsession with this dish, so the chef cooked it carefully and rolled it into a fried bell. So fried bean curd roll in Chinese is also known as “fried bell” (What is the difference between bell rolls and fried yuba, 2022).
Bean curd skin, also known as yuba, is a traditional soy food from the Han dynasty. The bean curd is made from the skin of boiled soy drink, has a very strong bean flavor, and has a unique taste that other soy products do not have. When fried properly it adds a rich fried flavor without being oily. It is ready to eat in only 5 seconds after you dip it into the hot pot. The fried bean curd roll has a golden color and crunchy texture. At Superior Natural, our Fried Bean Curd Roll is made with non-GMO soybeans and is perfect for Hot Pots and other warm dishes.
