Foodie Friday: Tofu Toast

My first…

Tofu toast: bread made out of tofu

I was invited by Veronica Roth to do her toast challenge, which is about combining a photo or sketch with “an ode to your breakfast.” Since I already blogged about Taiwan toast before, I thought I’d do something more innovative.

In the aisles of my local Japanese market, I found a different kind of bread. Made from tofu, it’s got the smoothness of white bread. However, it also exhibits a nice firmness that reveals its true origins. The bread provides a hearty flavor (like a lighter wheat), and extra flax seeds add to this impression.

Fun fact of the day: Tofu means bean curd, but the fu can be translated as “rotten.”

But this tofu toast is delicious, and I give it a thumb’s up!
