Fu is Japanese dried wheat gluten, which is often added to miso soup. It’s very high in protein and completely vegan.
Its high protein content makes it a great meat-alternative for vegans and vegetarians, and it’s very popular in Buddhist cuisine in Japan. But it’s also a delicious and nutritious ingredient in its own right.
Add Uzumaki Fu to have delicious decorative spirals floating on top of your Japanese soups. Alternatively, stir-fry it in a little oil and season with salt and pepper for an easy and tasty snack.
Fu soaks up flavor like bread or croutons, but with more nutrition and easier digestion.
