ACTIVITIES
Tofu making
Details
Tofu, a must-have ingredient in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Southeast Asian cuisines has risen in popularity especially among vegetarians and vegans over the years. The widely known health benefits have made it a perfect alternative for meat based meals, or even as a side dish. You must have seen it on menus around the traps. Have you ever wanted to make it yourself though?
The tofu artisan, Mr. Ishida gives you a one of a kind experience to learn all about making tofu. With over 32 years of making tofu under his belt, he shares with you his vast knowledge. His locally sustainable business buys beans direct from farmers, thereby minimizing the use of pesticides. Unlike many producers, the tofu is still hand-made to create an amazingly soft and smooth texture.
This informative and fun hands-on workshop is perfect for people wanting to learn about tofu and how it’s made. If you’ve ever wanted to make tofu at home, this could not be more perfect for you! Of course you’ll make the tofu and taste your freshly made creation at the end!
