Answer 2

I assume you mean tofu

Tofu, also tōfu (the Japanese Romaji spelling), doufu (the Chinese Pinyin spelling often used in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (the literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin,[1] made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.

The production of tofu from soy milk is similar to the production of cheese from milk, although some tofu is made by processing non-soy products, such as almonds or black beans. The byproduct of the process is soy pulp (also called okara in Japanese).

Tofu originated in ancient China,[1] but little else is known about the origins of tofu and its method of production. Tofu and its production technique were subsequently introduced into Korea, then Japan during the Nara period (late eighth century). It also spread into other parts of East Asia as well. This spread likely coincided with the spread of Buddhism as it is an important source of proteins in the religion's vegetarian diet.[2]

Tofu is low in calories, contains beneficial amounts of iron (especially important for women of child-bearing age) and has no saturated fat or cholesterol. Depending on the coagulant used in manufacturing, the tofu may also be high in calcium (important for bone development and maintenance), and magnesium (especially important for athletes). Tofu also contains soy isoflavones, which can mimic natural human estrogens and may have a variety of harmful or beneficial effects when eaten in sufficient quantities.

Answer 5

Tofu is bean curd. Honestly, it has no taste. It is packed full of protein, though. It takes the taste of anything, though.

Answer 6

The word you are looking for is Tofu.

Answer 7

You can cook with tofu - cut it into cubes and sautee it or slices and dry-fry or grill it.  Some brands of Silken Tofu can be quite sloppy and break up into a big mush.

In the UK you can buy a brand called Caldron, it's Tofu that's already been cubed, smoked and cooked for you so you just throw it in the pan to heat or put it in salads.  An unusual but quite nice taste.  

Answer 8

Tofu is bean curd, you can use it in stir fries or stews instead of meat.
