- Tofu, invented in ancient China, is typically made from soybeans, but in Shenzhen, I discovered Rice Tofu! Its slippery, crumbly texture is tofu-like, yet the taste is pure rice, momentarily confusing my brain. The slightly spicy, salty sauce paired perfectly with the rice flavor! Could natto work with it too? Excited about the potential of rice tofu, I searched for recipes in Japanese but found none.

- Rice tofu, as the name suggests, is a unique type of tofu primarily made from rice, traditionally crafted mainly in southern China. Its preparation involves dissolving rice flour in water, heating, and solidifying it, resulting in a tofu-like texture that is white and soft. Rice tofu is enjoyed in a variety of ways; it can be used in stir-fried dishes as a side or served as an appetizer with a spicy sauce. The mild flavor of rice pairs exceptionally well with any sauce, offering endless culinary possibilities. However, it's a pity that there are few recipes available in Japanese. So, adventurous author, will you choose to become a tofu master or embark on a recipe-hunting journey? Are you planning to write the "Rice Tofu Myth" in your kitchen next, or are you simply going to find yourself standing at the stove, realizing you forgot to cook the rice?
