You're Invited to a 5 Course Dinner by Hodo Founder, Minh Tsai!

18 Reasons, the non-profit community space funded by Bi-Rite Market and Bi-Rite Creamery is featuring Minh Tsai and Hodo Soy Beanery at its "Producer dinner" on Friday, July 9th at 7pm.

Here's your chance to experience a 5 course meal prepared by Minh featuring his freshly made tofu and yuba. Here's one dish to expect:

Nama Yuba "Sashimi" with Uni
Silky folds of fresh, handmade yuba topped with sea urchin and toasted nori

Hodo Soy Beanery's Nama Yuba is made from fresh, organic, non-gmo soy milk. The delicate folds of yuba resemble in appearance and texture, the thinnest sheets of freshly-made pappardelle pasta with a silky, tender quality unlike anything else you've ever tasted. It's the perfect accompaniment to the rich, creamy ocean-fresh uni.
