Sobre este ingrediente

Wheat gluten product made by extracting gluten from wheat dough and steaming or baking. A core ingredient of Japanese cuisine for 700+ years, with regional variants: nama-fu (raw, fresh) for Kyoto kaiseki; yaki-fu (baked) for soup additions; kuruma-fu (wheel-shaped) as the most recognisable retail format. Kyoto and Niigata are the heritage production regions; Niigata's specific 'shokupan-style' wheat-flour mills supply many fu producers. As a high-protein (60-75% dry basis) ingredient, fu is a long-standing plant-protein source that anticipates the modern plant-based-meat trend. Distinct from existing 'kinako' (roasted soy flour) and 'mochigome' entries.
