Cooking With The Professor: Demystify Tofu (Cooking Demo & Free Lunch)

**UCI STUDENTS ONLY

Tuesday May 13, 12-1:30
Anteater Demonstration Kitchen
Students only

For a 21st century global citizen, tofu requires no introduction: it’s a white, soft, and rather tasteless substance but full of nutrients; it’s a meat substitute for those who prefer a plant-based diet; it’s a mysterious product, something between cheese and meat; it’s a symbol of “the Orient.” Whether you agree with any of the statements above or not, there is always more to know about tofu.

To celebrate the AAPI month, Illuminations is inviting you to this “Cooking with a Professor” event to learn more about a stable food from Asia--tofu. Collaborating with Chef Daniel and his team, Professor Daphne Lei will give a brief lecture on the history and versatility of soy and tofu as well as demonstrate a simple tofu dish. Students will have a chance to taste a few different types of tofu. The demystifying journey of tofu starts at the Anteater Demonstration Kitchen.

DIRECTIONS: Go to the ARC (Anteater Rec. Center) and check in with the front desk and let them know you're here for the cooking demo event. Head up the stairs take a left and follow the hallway all the way down past the indoor track and take a right at the end of the hallway. We are all the way down at the end, at the very last room and door, you can't miss us! See you soon!
