-- Mr. Eng asked one of his parents’ former employees how much baking soda a particular recipe called for. He said, “A cup.” ... “Like a coffee cup?” “No, this one cup that we had at the shop.” The cup, naturally, had been thrown out.<p>This is so hilariously like my Chinese mother-in-law, get angry recreating her receipt at my house because why would anyone not using her "standard" sized cups (giveaways at the mall). She is not the only one, so is my grandma and mom.
If anyone is interested in making their own tofu I found these books to be quite good.<p>Asian tofu by Andrea Nguyen
The book of tofu by William shurtleff and akiko aoyagi<p>The first is a bit more basic but covers a range of Asian tofu and is easier to get into.<p>The second is very dense with information and is more specifically about Japanese tofu but after getting started with the first book I much prefer referring to this one.
