| | Tofu |
 | | Tofu (35910;腐 or 荳腐 in pinyin: dou4 fu0), or bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk[?] with calcium sulfate[?] (gypsum), nigari[?] (a sea-salt derived compound rich in magnesium chloride[?]), or other agents, and then pressing into blocks, similar to the way cheese is made from milk. |
 | | At the other extreme, the extra soft tofu can be served as a Chinese dessert in syrup[?] flavored with ginger or almond. |
 | | Tofu can be made to taste like cheese, pudding, eggs, bacon, etc. Furthermore, the texture of tofu can be altered to match the above dishes. |
