    What is Bean Curd?

    Soya Bean Curd is a type of tofu variety. It is made from ground or pressed soybeans and folded into multiple layers. These bean curd skins typically are used to make Chinese Vegetarian Duck 素鸭, sometimes filled with savoury stir fry fillings of shiitake mushrooms, carrots or bamboo shoots. 

    Where To Buy Tofu Skin?

    You can buy tofu skin either frozen or dehydrated at most Asian Supermarkets. I prefer the frozen packets for the thicker Chinese Vegetarian Duck version for ease of use. Thaw and cook—no need to resuscitate the soybean skins.

    Air Frying Bean Curd Sheets Cooking Tips

    Air Frying Bean Curd Skin is fast and convenient. It comes out 100% perfect every time, and you do not need to shallow fry the tofu in this soybean skin recipe. 

    The cellophane-like skin is crispy outside while tender, chewy and soft inside. 

    If you do not have time to thaw the bean curd skin, simply air fry it at a low 375F for 6 minutes first before proceeding with the standard cooking time of 400F for 5 to 6 minutes. This fried tofu skin recipe is that simple!

    How to Cook Bok Choy in Stir Fry - Cooking Tips

    This easy Bok Choy recipe guarantees 100% turnout of these baby greens.

    Simmer the garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the baby Bok Choy to the wok. 

    On the side, have your sugar, vegetable bouillon (vegan) or chicken essence powder dissolved in a bit of water.

    A splash of Shaoxing Wine helps to elevate the flavours.

    Do not overcook the vegetables. A good 2 to 3-minute toss is perfect.

    Bok Choy Benefits and Nutritious

    Move aside kale, the newly promoted fad-dom is Bok Choy! Bok Choy is a cold-weather crop and the freshest in winter. 

    This dark, leafy green falls under the Brassica cabbage family (kale, turnips, mustard, and broccoli). Bok Choy greens taste earthy, while the white stalks are mild and crisp. 

    Bok Choy calories: One cup of veggie has just nine calories! This veggie powerhouse has over 70 antioxidants, reduces the risk of cancer and is rich in vitamin C and A. 

    BEST AIR FRYER TIPS

    If you've never cooked with an air fryer before, this small kitchen appliance can be a little intimidating. However, I swear by its convenience and versatility and its use of rapidly circulating hot air to cook crispy food without using too much oil!

    Here are a few tips for anyone who has (or is planning on getting) an air fryer!

    1. What is the best temperate to air fry bean curd sheets?

    It is best to air fry bean curd sheets at 390F to mimic the high heat temperature of an oven. Don't worry! Your tofu sheets will still be tender with just the right about of char.

    2. How long should I air fry bean curd for?

    Depending on the size and how much bean curd sheets you put into the air fryer, 5 minutes should cook it thoroughly with a slight char. This also depends on the model of your air fryer, so you may want to reduce or increase the air frying time by one to two minutes.

    3. Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

    Based on experience, you should always preheat the air fryer before filling it with food. By doing this, the air fryer's temperature is more consistent, and your food will cook more evenly. Simply preheat your air fryer for two to three minutes before cooking.

    4. How to choose the right air fryer?

    Choosing the right air fryer for your kitchen depends on your lifestyle, available counter space, and if you intend to cook small or big batch meals. For us, we like the supersized XXL units that are big enough to cook a small chicken or 2 lbs chicken wings inside like THIS air fryer!
