Yuba - Vegetarian Chicken

[Guest guest]

This is one of two recipes I'm posting for bean curd skin (yuba). I'm afraid

the nutritional information is inaccurate because I couldn't figure out how to

compute the nutrients in the yuba. Since it's basically dehydrated soy milk I

would guess it takes 1/4 - 1/2 cup soy milk per sheet, but that's only a guess.
