Trader Joe’s Tofu Sheets are frozen, paper-thin soybean curd sheets, traditionally known as yuba. Made from the delicate skin that forms when soy milk is heated, they’re protein-rich with a neutral flavor—ideal for a wide range of plant-based dishes. They’re a reminder that plant-based eating doesn’t have to rely on imitation meat to be satisfying. This is minimally processed soy in a form many in the West haven’t cooked with; but it’s worth getting to know. The texture is unlike anything else: tender and deeply versatile. Nutritionally, it delivers solid protein without additives, making it a refreshingly simple alternative in a landscape full of over-engineered options.
