Bai ye

Yellowish tofu-skin sheets made from soybeans form when a protein-lipid film develops on soy milk heated to 80–90°C. The films are collected and dried; without coagulant, they are not technically tofu.

About this dish

During the boiling of soy milk, typically heated to 80–90 °C, in an open shallow pan, a film or skin composed primarily of a soy protein-lipid complex forms on the liquid surface. The films are collected and dried into yellowish sheets known as tofu skin. Since tofu skin is not produced using a coagulant, it is not technically a proper tofu; however, it does have a similar texture and flavor to some tofu products.
