Making tofu is an ancient tradition that spans over two thousand years. Soybeans that have been soaked the night before are ground into a rich slurry. The soy milk is then boiled over a wood fire to bring out a richer aroma. Take a look at a tiny Taiwanese town that still faithfully upholds traditional methods, which their family has passed down for more than sixty years. But making tofu is just the beginning. A simple change in the production process transforms soybeans into all sorts of delicious dishes. “Straight to the Source” is a documentary series highlighting the fresh ingredients that define Taiwanese cuisine. This farm to table journey explores how homegrown produce makes its way into your favorite dishes. Come along and celebrate Taiwan’s signature farm fresh tastes.
