  2. Flat tofu is a rare form of tofu from Harbin, China. My friends at Tofu yu (tofuyu.com), artistan tofu makers in Berkeley are possibly the only ones who make it in this country. Not sure if you can find it in Toronto but you can ask around Chinatown, perhaps?

    i take the sheets of flat tofu and cut them into "noodles" for this dish
