(Note: Tofu is spelled as “Tahu” – the Indonesian spelling instead of “Tauhu” in the cookbook.)
My friend Andrea Nguyen at Viet World Kitchen has recently released a new cookbook “Asian Tofu: Discover the Best, Make Your Own, and Cook It At Home.” It’s one of the cookbooks that I really look forward to because I love tofu and tofu-related products.
The book was sent to me when I was in Malaysia. The first thing upon returning to my Irvine home, I dug through my piles of magazines and books and looked for Asian Tofu. The first night when I woke up middle of the night due to jetlag, I read through the beautiful cookbook. I only have one sentence to say about Andrea’s newest project: she is a real food writer and a pro…her passion, dedication, and knowledge in the subject matter shine through in Asian Tofu (and her previous books). I have a huge respect for her and her work; she is someone whom I constantly look up to.
Here is the tahu bakar recipe, or grilled crisp tofu pockets, an Indonesian/Malaysian snack that is both appetizing and brightly flavorful. I recently had an unforgettable tahu bakar when visiting my friend Indochine Kitchen in Medan, Indonesia. It’s a dish that I hope to re-create at home, and now I have the perfect recipe to refer to.
Asian Tofu: Discover the Best, Make Your Own, and Cook It at Home by Andrea Nguyen is available for purchase at all major bookstores and online stores such as Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble.

Following my Teochew porridge post on preserved turnip eggs (???), I would like to share with you yet another simple dish that goes well with porridge—bean sprouts with tofu puff. My father loved bean sprouts with bean curd (tofu)…
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!) If you love tofu, I am sure you have your favorite tofu dish–be it Mapo Tofu, claypot tofu, steamed tofu, or fried tofu. While many people think that tofu is tasteless and plain, I love tofu very much. Tofu can be very versatile and delicious, if you know how to pair it with…
Recently, I received a new Japanese cookbook from my publisher Tuttle/Periplus—”A Cook’s Journey to Japan” by Sarah Marx Feldner. After reading through the beautiful cookbook, I had a sudden urge of making agedashi tofu or fried tofu in sweet fish stock, one my of favorite Japanese dishes that I always order at izakaya or Japanese restaurants. And the timing just…
To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, I will be sharing a series of Chinese recipes with you on Rasa Malaysia, and it started with my ginger and scallion fish recipe a few days ago. Today, I have Christine of Christine’s Recipes here with her “Rainbow Fried Tofu” dish—or sweet and sour fried tofu. Christine’s Recipes offer a great selection…
