Burmese Tofu

Tofu Kyaw is made from chickpeas, while Shan tofu is made from split peas – neither type is made from the more standard soya beans. You can enjoy Burmese tofu in the form of fritters, which are crisp outside and fluffy inside (tohu kyaw) and served with a tangy tamarind dip; or sliced up into a salad (tohu thoke) with a piquant dressing; or even served while still warm and molten (tohu nway) over a bowl of spicy noodles.
