Yuba Skins on Skewers


We use Yuba quite often -- mainly the fresh, frozen kind. Our usual method of cooking them is to marinate them with a mixture of water and tamari, which are rolled up, pan-fried and shredded as an accent on top of stir-fries.

Invariably, pieces around the edges will break off which don't end up getting used in the roll. This time I saved those left over bits and made a marinade of tamari, sesame oil, agave and sriracha and threaded the pieces on skewers (as shown above) which were then grilled until crispy. Delicious!

The filling of tea-smoked tofu, peppers, cabbage, radish greens and mushrooms was stir-fried and tossed with a little hoisin sauce from the Hot Knives guys, below...
