National Tofu Day (UK) celebrates tofu, the versatile soybean food also known as bean curd. Observed annually on September 1, the day encourages people to appreciate tofu’s long history and explore the many ways it can be prepared.
Tofu has been an important food in East Asian cuisine for centuries and can be used in a wide variety of dishes. It can be stir-fried, added to taco bowls, incorporated into desserts, or prepared in other creative ways. Its versatility has made it a popular meat alternative for vegetarians and vegans.
National Tofu Day was first sponsored by Cauldron Foods and The Vegetarian Society and has been observed annually since 2018. It offers an opportunity to try tofu for the first time, revisit a familiar recipe, or discover a new way to enjoy it.
