Protein-rich! Wheat gluten honey snack

Fu Snack Honey Kinako & Aonori [Registered Dietitians K&K’s Easy Cooking Video]

Fu is usually rehydrated in water before use.

It’s often added to miso soup, but here’s a snack that uses fu as-is without soaking.

Place fu in a heated frying pan and dry-toast it.

Once well toasted, melt in some butter and toss to coat, then add honey and coat again.

Finish by dusting with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and mixing to combine.

The gentle sweetness of the honey, the nutty aroma of the kinako, and the light, crisp texture make this a snack you won’t be able to stop eating.

It does use the stove, but it’s simple enough that older adults can give it a try.
