See how they are rolled? Soaked, these become twice the length and unfurl just a little. Delicious with sauces as it captures them in its folds and crannies.

   Beancurd sticks/dried tofu sticks

   Maybe a decade ago, Michael from https://herestheveg.blogspot.com/ was asking about some tofu sticks they'd seen in their recent trip to China. He couldn't find them. We discussed options, but he really wanted to find these lovely twirled beancurd sticks. Not the long, scrunched, sort of flat beancurd sticks. These are twirled around to make a round, long, light stick.

   I'd never seen them. And still hadn't until recently I found them in my local Asian shop.

   The are soaked briefly, then can be used like noodles. I just made some with some Maggi seasoning, soy sauce and chilli crisp, with just a little veg and herbs from the garden.

   Hit the spot. When they soak they slightly unfurl, but still hold enough spaces and twists to really get the sauce right through the sticks. 😋

   Do you know these? How do you use them?
