going feral over Yuba (tofu skin)

Yuba Sandwich ~ inspired by Gua Bao 😊

Because I can’t get enough of yuba (aka tofu skin), and neither can you, let’s enjoy it in a sandwich with salty mustard greens, candied peanuts, and cilantro.

For the yuba:
5 yuba sheets, pressed together (aka tofu skin or beancurd sheets)
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
3 garlic cloves
2 slices ginger
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar

For the mustard greens:
pickled mustard greens, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 chili pepper, minced
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp sugar

For the peanuts:
1/3 cup raw blanched peanuts
1 tbsp sugar

For everything else:
2 burger buns
cilantro

1. Blitz the peanuts in a food processor until it almost turns into a powder with some texture. Heat dry in a pan with sugar until light golden. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in the same pan. Add the remaining ingredients for the mustard greens. Cook for 5 minutes and set aside.
3. Dust the yuba with cornstarch on both sides. Fry in the same pan with 1 tbsp of oil for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
4. In the same pan, toast the ginger, cinnamon, star anise, and garlic cloves for 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Once it begins to simmer, add the yuba back in the pot and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
5. Serve with burger buns, cilantro, and chili peppers.

Is there a way to use tofu skins to make a ham sandwich flavor?I stopped eating wheat gluten so I have nothing to use now🥺

What's a non-alcoholics substitute for shoaxing wine? Or best just to leave out?

I Googled it and I was struggling to find a difference between this and the Inari style onigiri, if the tofu skin is the same I wonder if it has that nice sweet taste you get at the sushi restaurants! I bet it goes perfect with this dish

You can have your tofu, I'll stick to my meat, fish and chicken.
