The Vietnamese online community has recently been stirred up by the appearance of a brand new dish called "matcha tofu". Unlike the matcha pho that caused a stir before, matcha tofu attracts attention with its bright green color and unique name, making many people curious about it.
According to initial sharing on social networks, matcha tofu was introduced as a new product launched by a food store, called matcha tofu. However, after researching, many people think that this is just another name for some types of tofu processed by traditional methods.
The 'strange dish' matcha tofu is taking the internet by storm
According to the post owner, although it is called matcha tofu, the ingredients do not contain green tea, but this type of tofu is made from soybeans and pandan leaves to create such green color. Pandan leaves are a popular ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine, often used to create aroma and green color for dishes. When processing tofu, people will grind pandan leaves with soybeans, then cook and freeze them into molds.
This strange bean is not yet widely available in tofu shops. Therefore, if you are not "lucky", it is quite difficult for netizens to taste it. However, after the images of "matcha tofu" went viral on social networks, many people predicted that many stores would learn to "renovate" traditional tofu.
Matcha tofu has a rich, fatty taste, with a hint of pandan leaves. Many people commented that this flavor is quite new and attractive, different from traditional tofu. This type of tofu still retains the flavor and nutritional value of traditional tofu, while adding vitamins and minerals from pandan leaves.
Using pandan leaves to create green color for matcha tofu is in line with the current trend of using natural ingredients in cuisine. This is considered a unique creation, bringing a new look to traditional dishes.
With its advantages in flavor, nutritional value and suitability to current culinary trends, matcha tofu has the potential to become a popular dish in the future. However, to turn this potential into reality, it requires the efforts of manufacturers to ensure product quality, reasonable prices and promote marketing activities to introduce the product to consumers.
