We have been proudly serving Canadians with the best tasting tofu made
right here in Ontario. All of our products are all meticulously hand-made
in the traditional way using the original coagulant, Nigari, which
is derived from sea water. Tofu is associated with healthful and conscious
living.
Our line of products include:
Our "Gourmet Tofu" is Ying Ying's feature product line. Gourmet Tofu comes in six different flavours/styles including Sweet and Sour, Sweet and Spicy, Miso, Tomato, Black Bean, and Curry. "What makes your tofu gourmet?" One of our astute customers once asked this important question. The answer to this question is two fold. First, our base tofu is hand
made in the traditional way using Nigari. Derived from sea water, Nigari
is a natural coagulant (it's what makes the tofu firm) Gourmet Tofu is delicious and can be eaten straight out of the package
as a quick and nutritious snack. You can also use Gourmet Tofu for stir-fries,
salads, wraps, vegetarian chillies, shish kebob and even as a pizza topping.
Our Plain Nigari Tofu is the traditional style plain tofu. It is, however, the product that best reflects the quality of our tofu line. Making tofu with Nigari is similar to making cheese as curds are formed which are then pressed tightly together . The process is more difficult however, the resulting tofu has a high protein content, a pleasing texture and an excellent, naturally sweet taste. Try it once, you will taste the difference. Ying Ying's Tofu Burgers are genuine and wholesome tofu burgers, because they are made with nothing but pure, Nigari Tofu seasoned with spices and herbs. There are no fillers or additives. You don't have to be an vegetarian to enjoy our delicious tofu burgers. Okara is mainly soy fibre, similar to wheat bran. It is 50% dietary fibre, and high in minerals and protein too. The burger's main ingredients are Okara, onion, carrot, shitake mushroom and whole wheat flour. It has a falafel like texture. Tofu Balls are a unique tofu product. They can be used in pasta sauce as a meat ball substitute, in stir-fries, or on skewer for the BBQ. Baked or pan fried, whole or quartered, they make a great appetizer. Our smoked tofu is a very unique product. It is made with compressed tofu sheets (like pasta sheets). The tofu sheets are rolled into a loaf and then naturally smoked with tea and sugar. We do not use any chemical smoke to flavour our products. The resulting tofu is unique and flavourful and great to use in salads and stir-fries. Our "Honey Garlic" Tofu Loaf is hand-made with our versatile tofu sheets, laced with fresh ginger and garlic, and slightly sweetened. It can be served as a cold cut; and can be served hot as well. It is excellent for making sandwiches. Our Tofu Turkey is Ying Ying's creation for Canadian consumers. It is a holiday item as is only available at Easter, Thanksgiving's and Christmas. It is hand made with our prized tofu sheet,stuffed with an old style Canadian recipe for turkey stuffing. It is delicious! Best of all, it does not require any cooking. Just heat and serve. Miso is a 3000 year old Chinese condiment. Our miso paste is a premium quality product, only produced in small batches with an extended fermentation period of six months or more. Our miso is made in accordance of a family recipe that our owner inherited from her mother. The only modification made to the recipe was the substitution of wheat flour for rice flour making the miso gluten free. Miso is a very diverse product and can be used to make soups, salad dressings and dips. Please visit our recipes section for more ideas.

is the original curding agent used when tofu was first invented in China
2000 years ago. This traditional process gives Nigari tofu a refined texture
and a naturally sweet taste. We firmly believe that our tofu

including the Gourmet Tofu, are of exceptional quality and taste. The
second reason why our Gourmet Tofu is gourmet is that we prepare each
