**Tofu is the Japanese name for bean curd, a wonderful source of cholesterol-free protein. In itself mild in flavor, tofu readily absorbs the tastes of any ingredients with which it is cooked. It is very perishable and should be kept submerged in water in your refrigerator. You can keep it for a couple of day s if you change the water daily. The shrimp balls in the soup are rather delicate so you may want to use a spoon to place them gently in the broth.
