Reposting this soul-warming Soy Milk Tan Tan Ramen recipe by 💚🧡
English translation (🇺🇸) below:

Soy milk Tan Tan Men (Tantan Ramen)

豆乳、タヒニ、自家製味噌で作る坦々麺。
肉味噌には椎茸も入れて旨味アップ、結構辛め🔥
シャキシャキのニラとパクチーがアクセントに最高!

ベイビーちゃん、お熱が出た日。初めてのお熱で39度まで上がってさすがにぐったり。可哀想やった。
キャベツ頭に被せて熱取り🥬
次の日にはグッと下がってケロッと元気になってくれました🥹
キャベツ、オススメ!!!

🇺🇸 Tan Tan Ramen made with soy milk, tahini, and homemade miso.

I also added shiitake mushrooms to the meat miso to make it more flavorful and spicy🔥
Also crunchy chives and coriander make the perfect accent!

Side note: Baby had a fever of about 39ºC the other day and I felt sorry for him.
Covering his head with a cabbage leaf helped to reduce his temperature.🥬
By the next day, things had gone down a lot and baby felt much better🥹
Cabbage is recommended!!!

We confess, making Jimami Tofu wasn't in our bingo cards even 7 years back and are grateful to have native expertise in our team.

Like many in our community, we are still reeling from the devastations on Maui. Our hearts go out to the families and people affected by the fires.

We know that the road to recovery will be long. We also understand that it will take sustained efforts to continually support Maui during this period.

Aloha Tofu Factory will make an initial monetary donation to the Hawaii Community Foundation Maui Strong Fund.

We also plan to donate products to Oahu-based fundraising efforts. If you are interested in receiving our tofu products for official fundraising efforts to support Maui, please contact us.

We vow to continue our efforts and look into additional ways to support Maui in the coming months.

The 💚☁️pouffiest fresh aburage☁️🧡

Aburage is made by slicing thin layers of firm tofu blocks which are then deep-fried quickly.

The resulting product can be triangle or square shaped and naturally split open to make a shell for sushi-flavored rice to make a Japanese favorite, inarizushi (sushi). 🍣

The triangles also make a fantastic keto-friendly toast or pizza base. 🍞🍕

You can also order them by the piece at our factory, too.

Our Story

Aloha Tofu Factory started from very humble beginnings in 1950 when Kamesaburo and Tsuruko Uyehara agreed to take over the running of a friend's tofu factory. Normally, it would take a lifetime to master the art of tofu-making, but young Kamesaburo had only a week to learn everything about tofu and keep the factory running.

The first generation of the Uyehara family who ran the tofu factory didn't set out to become Hawaii's largest tofu manufacturer in the islands today. Instead, the patriarch Kamesaburo just wanted to provide for his family's needs.

The first tofu shop was located on Dillingham Boulevard near what is now Honolulu Community College. In 1964, Aloha Tofu moved to the Ala Moana Farmers Market where the business grew until a fire wiped out the factory in 1966.

The family joined together and Kamesaburo rebuilt the factory and started over. In 1976, their hard work and determination was rewarded when the Uyehara family established their own factory on Akepo Lane in Kalihi where it still stands today.

Aloha Tofu Factory and the Uyehara family built their company based on the belief that the people of Hawaii deserve the freshest tofu. As a company with local values and the vision of aloha, the Uyehara family invites everyone to enjoy the versatility and health benefits that Aloha Tofu has to offer.
