* Today , I'm still getting search queries popping up on this subject in my stats bar , so if you're reading this , hopefully you will walk away more informed *
All thanks to a misspelling by a chain restaurant , today some people are still ( after all these months !) convinced that this beancurd by product , contains pork. Taufoo pok is made in a similar manner as cheese is . Coagulants are added into soy milk then twice deep fried at different temperatures till they look like gluten puffs. If you take too much, obviously it's not the healthiest of choices .
It's delicious but should be eaten in moderation.
And Pok is a Chinese word which means Puff by the way.
As there are many vegans in the country , some who are so fastidious they don't even consume garlic ,think about it .... if this ingredient so much as contained meat ,
they would see to it that life becomes very miserable for the manufacturer indeed.
