Yuba (tāngyè in Chinese) (湯葉) or tofu skin is a Japanese and Chinese food product made from soybeans.

This is yuba and made be eaten fresh or dried. The skin may also be rolled into sticks called kusatake or tofu bamboo.

In China, yuba is also very widely sold in V-shaped dry rolls called fuzhu; fu is the second character in the word tofu and zhu means "bamboo," since each side of the V resembles a bamboo shoot.
In the Japanese word yuba, as presently written, the character yu means "hot water" and the ba means "leaf" or "flat thing." The etymology of the present term, however, is both obscure and complex, being intricately linked with the early history of the food itself.
Yuba has the strongest gourmet image of all Japanese soyfoods, and Kyoto yuba soon developed strong associations with both the vegetarian cuisine of the Buddhists and with the elegant cuisine of the nobility and aristocracy.
During the boiling of soy milk, in an open shallow pan, a film or skin composed primarily of a soy protein-lipid complex forms on the liquid surface.
Due to it slightly rubbery texture, yuba is also manufactured in bunched, folded and wrapped forms that are used as meat substitutes in vegetarian cuisine.
Yuba skin may also be bunched into sticks called dried bean curd stick (Chinese: 腐竹; pinyin: fǔ zhú).
