Ever wonder how Tofu is made? video:


Amy's makes a lot of tofu! Did you know that tofu has served as the primary source of protein for Asian peoples as far back as 2,000 years ago? It was actually invented in China and soon thereafter became widespread across the orient. It is only in the past 50 years that tofu has become known to non-Asian Americans but its popularity is growing rapidly. Americans are eating out more often and exploring the vast array of ethnic food choices introduced by inspired chefs and immigrants who bring their native foods to our communities. When it comes to tofu, nothing could appear more basic. Soybeans are crushed to extract their milk which is then thickened and formed into a standard shape. So what's the big deal? You already know that Amy's prepares each of its products from scratch. What we haven't told you is that we also prepare many of our ingredients from scratch as well. Tofu is a primary ingredient at Amy's as it appears in many of our products. We use tofu in different shapes and with varied firmness depending on the product. For Spinach Pizza we use very small pieces while in our popular Brown Rice & Vegetables Bowl we use larger pieces. The demand for so much variety of tofu is the key reason we have chosen to make it ourselves, from scratch. It's fun to know how things are made so we thought we'd share how we prepare tofu each day at Amy's. We adopted methods from trained tofu makers who learned the traditional methods that haven't changed for over a millennium. One could say we are tofu "artisans". Each batch is hand crafted from the slow stirring of soymilk into curds, to the pressing and soaking of the finished product.
