The company that made them (Now and Zen) shut down a couple of years back and our stockpile has run out; so we had to make one. You’re probably wondering why we just didn’t switch over to the dreaded Tofurky. We tried the Tofurkey which resembles a football more than a tasty holiday centerpiece, yuck, not something that I want to go through again! Anyhoo, back to the Unturkey.

Let is sit on low until the crust forms (takes a few minutes). Take a knife or fork and run it along the edges of the pan (to release the skin so it doesn’t stick when you’re trying to lift it). Get a long chopstick (the kind cooks use) and run it under the skin all the way over - then lift up carefully (the skin will hang over the chopstick) - let it stay up for a few secs to let excess soymilk drip off. Then lay it flat on a paper towel (well, not flat - it will be doubled over - but that’s okay). Repeat.on my stove it took about 10 minutes for a film to form on a standard size frying pan at slightly above 3/8ths heat. I ended up buying yuba from a market in town (Anzen Hiroshi if you live in Portland, Or, they’re AMAZING!) because the only sot milk i had at home was sweetened and that makes it taste a little weird. hope this helps! this is the only recipe i found online for making yuba at home::

Yuba is uncooked or frozen. Another name for it is “bean curd sheet”, which I usually hear from chinese grocers. I think yuba might be the japanese name. Yeah, tofu puffs aren’t quite right.
