Tofu making was first recorded during the Chinese [[Han dynasty]] in 965 AD. Chinese legend ascribes its invention to Prince [[Liu An]] (179{{ndash}}122{{nbsp}}BC) of [[Anhui]] province. Tofu and its production technique were introduced to [[Japan]] during the [[Nara period]] (710{{ndash}}794) but there are no clear records; tofu first appeared on record in 965 AD. Some scholars believe tofu arrived in [[Vietnam]] during the 10th and 11th centuries. It spread to other parts of [[Southeast Asia]] as well. This probably coincided with the spread of [[Buddhism]] as it is an important source of [[Protein (nutrient)|protein]] in the [[Buddhist cuisine|vegetarian diet of East Asian Buddhism]]. [[Li Shizhen]], during the [[Ming dynasty]], described a method of making tofu in the ''[[Compendium of Materia Medica]]''. Since then, tofu has become a [[Staple food|staple]] in many countries, including [[Vietnam]], [[Thailand]], and [[Korea]], with regional variations in production methods, texture, flavor, and usage.</div>FuzzyBot
