Tofu Skin Roll with Sweet Sour

Tofu skin is made from cream of soy milk that is skimmed and hung to dry. Once the boiling soy milk’s surface slightly hardens, it is picked up with a stick and left to dry. After drying, it is packed in sheets or rolled up and used in various dishes. It is cut into pieces and sautéed in soups or stir-fried with vegetables. We make amazing nuggets out of the skin mixed with flour and vegetables. You can buy tofu skin at most Asian shops.

We rolled up the tofu skins for this recipe to resemble sausage links. After cutting them into pieces, they become delicious, chewy bites that serve as excellent protein vessels for the Sweet Sour Sauce and go well with rice. This quick and simple dish is another creative way to add variety to your weekly menu. Read further to learn how to make this dish. Click here for the Sweet Sour Sauce recipe.
