The name "tofu" here refers to "tofu-like solid"; soy beans, which are the main ingredient of tofu, are not used.[1] This naming convention is also seen in other East Asian dishes, such as Chinese yúdòufu (魚豆腐) and Japanese gomadōfu (胡麻豆腐). Apricot kernel milk is often confused with almond milk, as apricot kernel itself is often confused with almond.
