Stir Fried Tofu Skin with Squash, Mushroom and Goji Berries

We call Tofu Skin, also known as soybean curd sticks, Fu Zhu {腐竹} in Chinese. Fu Zhu {腐竹} literally means Tofu Bamboo, implying the dried soybean curd sticks look like miniature bamboo.

Soak the dried tofu skin with plenty of water in a large washing basin 4-6 hours prior to cooking and let them fully rehydrate.

No doubt I am a big fan of Tofu skin and frequently add them into stir-fry, soup and braised dishes. For instance, if I do not have tofu handy, I will use tofu skin as a substitute for this super appetizing Hot and Sour Soup.
