Im not sure if the OP is referring to dried tofu, which is basically dehydrated tofu/ maybe pressed. It often has flavors infused in it, like a five spice powder or other asian flavors, although I have had it plain too. Much firmer than tofu, holds up really well in stir fries, but due to its density , it doesn't absorb flavors as regular tofu does.
As far as the dried tofu sheets, which I think it is called Yuba , although I could be wrong. its is made by simmering soy milk, asa it cools aa film forms on the top of the soy milk. It is usually dried one of 2 ways. One , as a sheet . It is picked up with a long stick and the sheet is left to dry. The other ways it is kind made into , for lack of better works, a stick - like shape ( its kinda the sheets condensed / squished together so it folds up on itself causing this shape.
Both the sheet and 'sticks' need to be hydrated before use so they aren't crunch and are pliable. Although, I have seen them in a ' fresh form' at the Asian market. Kinda like the difference between fresh pasta and dried pasta
The sheets are often used to wrap things up, kinda like an egg roll. It Has a chewy consistency ( when hydrated).
The sticks Ive had in stirfrys and as pieces in vegetarian hot and sour soup. Again, it is a chew like consistency .
Both taste absolutely nothing like tofu.
If the OP is referring to something else, then Im not sure, but the above are the two that he may be referring too.
Ive also seen , in vegetarian/ vegan recipes, when they are making ' fake turkey or chicken', at the end, a layer of hydrated Yuba sheets is tossed over the " turkey, loaf .." and baked a little longer, resembling a ' skin'
***Pic on bottom is that actual 'Dried Tofu'. The others are Yuba ( sheets or sticks)***
Look up stuffed Yuba sheet rolls... to get more ideas of what you can do.
I once had the sheets were hydrated with a sweet soy sauce, then a layer of soy asian marinated shiitakes placed inside then rolled up. They called it " vegetarian duck'. which clearly it wasnt had no resemblance what so ever, but it sure tasted good.
