What’s more, the new product will impress you with its al dente, extra-firm and compact texture, which is best fit for long time cooking without losing its form or too much moisture. With this special nature, PAK FOOK® Nigari Hard Beancurd is best companion for various dishes especially stir-frying, stewing and even skewers. Please refer to the appendix for more delicious beancurd recipes.
