Burmese Tofu (Shan Tofu) is a common food from the Shan minority in Burma (Myanmar) that is made with finely milled chickpea flour, turmeric and water. It is different to traditional Chinese tofu, which involves curdling soy milk and pressing the curds into a firm block. For Burmese tofu, the liquid is heated until it begins to coagulate and is then left to set into a soft block.
