Tofu, pronounced toe-foo, is also known as bean curd. It is a vegetable cheese prepared by treating soybean milk with coagulants. It is used extensively in Chinese cooking. It is very mild in flavor so it absorbs the taste of things with which it is cooked. It is a good meat substitute as it is fairly high in protein.
