Ukulele Picnic is a Success!
Aloha Tofu participated in the 3rd Annual Ukulele Picnic on Sunday, February 13, 2011 at Kaka’ako Waterfront Park. It was a beautiful, sunny day with many people in attendance. There were many booths selling tasty, aromatic foods and lots of local products to tempt you. The music flowed all day long as talented children “strummed their stuff” and engaging professional entertained us. The Aloha Tofu booth sold out of our Sesame Rice with Soy Beans and almost all of its Yudofu & Tofu Mousse. We had so much fun, we can’t wait to do it again next year! We hope to see you there too!

Tofu Cookbook Book Review
Read Hawaii Book Blog’s “tofu-rrific” review of our Tofu Cookbook at http://www.hawaiibookblog.com/. Thank you Hawaii Book Blog!!!
Here is an excerpt:
“The book features contributions from chef Peko Nishimura and Misa Uyehara, and there’s enough delicious ways to prepare tofu in this book to last you a whole year! From fresh and healthy salads to hearty soups and stir-frys, and even dessert! The book contains over sixty recipes, in both English and Japanese, as well as step by step instructions for draining tofu, and even some helpful deep frying techniques. If you haven’t had fried tofu, you’re really missing out.
I love that the book also includes instructions on how to make dashi (Japanese soup stock)–so now I don’t have to deal with that paste my dad uses too much of when he’s making soup. And now we have sixty yummy new ways to eat healthier–because don’t forget, tofu is good for you too! I also love that this is a local company, making a local product and using their expertise to share a book of recipes (that’s published locally) with the community. Really a great example of buy local, eat local, read local.”
