Tofu is a supernatural magic, it could serve either savory or sweet *side dish to the main, snack, appetizer, sweets as a dessert and it can be pickled too! The wide variety of tofu are quite numerous--such like silken tofu, firm tofu, dried tofu, fermented tofu, stinky tofu and still many more.

To be honest this is my second post after this post here that I am able to blog concerning into baking, although it was completely makes me nervous and of course I managed to build some certain confident until I made it and proudly show the prove.
