Chinese Tofu and Seitan
This is a Chinese macrobiotic dish that uses tofu, seitan and miso - a paste made from soy, barley or rice. It is served with pasta. Most people think that pasta comes from Italy, where it is thought that the ancient Etruscans ate it as early as 400 BC. However, people have been eating noodle-like food in China since around 3,000 BC, and the ancient Greeks and Palestinians also ate versions of 'pasta'.

Tofu
Tofu originated in China over 2,000 years ago, from where its use spread into Korea and then reached Japan circa 800 A.D. It is now popular throughout most of Asia and much of the western world. Tofu is a soy bean curd that is used as a complementary ingredient in vegetables dishes in much the same way as a meat is used. It has very little flavour but adopts the taste of the sauce it is cooked in. It can also be eaten fried as an appetiser with your favourite sauce.
