Learn how to make tofu skin using soy beans and water. Step-by-
step picture guide to homemade tofu skin, yuba, or bean curd
sheet.

Tofu skin (腐⽪), bean curd sheet, or yuba is the skin that forms at
the top of fresh soy milk.
Chinese invented soy milk, and from soy milk, various types of tofu
—silken, soft, firm, tofu pudding (doufu hua) and tofu skin—are
created.

It’s amazing just how versatile the mixture of soy beans plus water
is. Tofu and tofu-related products provide endless culinary
possibilities.

It is one of my favorite ingredients.

To make tofu skin, you need to make soy milk.

You can learn all about soy milk in “How to Make Soy Milk” on Rasa
Malaysia.

If you have made fresh soy milk, you will notice that a layer of tofu
skin quickly forms at the top of the soy milk.

If you don’t stir the soy milk and leave it alone, you will see that the
entire surface of the soy milk completely dries up, and that’s when
you “harvest” it.

I use a silicon baking spatula to detach the tofu skin from the side
of the pot, and then gently lift it up from the soy milk.

Tofu skin starts to form.


Once the tofu skin is formed completely, use a rubber spatula to
gently detach the tofu skin.

Shake the excess soy milk off the skin.

Lay it flat on a piece of parchment paper, with the dry side facing
down.

Do not use any other paper as the tofu skin might stick onto it and
you can’t peel it off when it’s dry.

You can leave the tofu skin at room temperature to dry by itself, or
you can also use a fan, which will be faster.

Voila, you now have a piece of tofu skin.

Repeat the same until you use up the soy milk.

You can use the dried tofu skin to make delicious foods such as:

1. Fried shrimp wrapped in tofu skin (鮮蝦腐⽪券)


2. Taiwanese chicken roll
3. Vietnamese tau hu ky
4. Malaysian five-spice pork rolls or loh bak or vegetarian loh bak
5. Singaporean Ngoh Hiang

Thanks you for sharing, nice to be able to try making my own rather than
buying them imports in plastic!

R A S A )M A L A Y S I A September 25, 2018 at 10:04 AM R E P LY

Yes, I hope you like the homemade tofu skin!

Thanks so much for the process pictures! Do you think I could make bean curd
sticks and dehydrate them in my dehydrator? I would like to make big batches
and make them last a month or so…

R A S A )M A L A Y S I A January 14, 2018 at 9:30 PM R E P LY

Hi Hitha, I am sure you could if you can manage to form them into sticks! :)

Very interesting. I’ve never even heard of tofu skin before.

Tofu skin is amazing.

Bee-
Thank you so much for the recipe!
Could one let these dry on the parchment until completely hardened and
store for later?
Thanks,
Mari

Yes I think so.

How long can you leave the dry dog fu pi in the fridge

R A S A )M A L A Y S I A February 17, 2015 at 9:54 AM R E P LY

A few days.

Thank you Rasa they look delicious. I will try to make them all.

Does the sheet just appear on the surface of the soy milk at room
temperature or do you have to heat it?
