Tofu Skin

Tofu Skin is a traditional East Asian ingredient made from the dried sheets of soy milk film; it’s often used in Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asian cooking as wrappers, braised strips, or meat alternatives. Rehydrated or cooked, it has a chewy texture and is prized for absorbing sauces and broths. Nutritionally, Tofu Skin is a concentrated plant protein source providing about 45g of protein per 100g, along with appreciable fiber and healthy unsaturated fats; it’s also naturally low in sodium. It contains plant-based omega‑3s and minerals like copper and manganese that contribute to its nutrient density. From a health perspective, it’s valued as a high-quality plant protein with a favorable fat profile and modest fiber content, making it a useful meat alternative in many dishes.
