I took your advice and visited the site. Still it is not too clear in its distinction. I suggest you go to a Chinese grocery and see for yourself the difference between Tofu and Tokwa. Thanks MM.

I always assumed tokwa was the filipinized chinese name for soy bean curd and that among curds, they came in the soft and firm variety. For example, when you buy tokwa it is a choice between one brand or another. Tofu is the more western name for soy bean curd...at any rate, I used the soft version in the dish above... marga, thanks for that, didn’t realize they were two different things.

You have to distinguish between Tofu and Tokwa. Tofu comes in the soft kind and firm kind but Tokwa is bean curd "cake". That means it is always firm. This is the one they use in Chinese Fresh Lumpia. I think what you used is the Tofu and NOT Tokwa. That's just FYI. As for adding more flavor to tasteless Tofu try adding oyster sauce for taste and color. Hi MM! You have to distinguish between Tofu and Tokwa.
