  1. I have never tasted grilled soy bean powder before…must be fragrant . A wonderful tofu dish that I wish I could replicate it so that I dont have to imagine but get to taste the real thing. Each time I read your food post , I have to imagine the taste :p Thanks for the sharing. I would scout around for the grilled soy bean powder from the Japanese shop in town. I dont see it around when I was there the last time 🙂 Have a nice day Robert,
