Given their intense similarities, the sweet apricot ‘kernels’ are translated as ‘almonds.’ Why is it called “Almond” tofu, then? Glad you asked! You see, the ‘seed’ part of an apricot pit looks remarkably like an almond, and they are often eaten the same way, as a snack food. ![]() (Also, if you didn’t know that gelatin isn’t normally vegan and that Jell-O isn’t normally vegan, I am so sorry you had to find out this way.) Agar Agar, being made from red algae and resulting in a very unique setting texture, is what we need to make a thick, jiggly, creamy dessert–which, for the record, highly resembles tofu! It’s a smooth, lovely dessert made from the milk of a stone fruit pit, (apricots, in this case,) and a thickening agent called Agar Agar, which is a little like the vegan answer to gelatin–with some key differences. Well, first let me explain how we got here: We know what it’s not, but what IS “Almond Tofu”? Just as a Peanut is neither a pea or a nut, Almond Tofu is traditionally made with neither almonds nor tofu. ![]() The real life Chinese dessert that this in-game recipe is based on is kind of like a Peanut… in that its name is a bit of a cruel joke to anyone trying to understand due to how much of a misnomer it is. Here’s our third Genshin Impact recipe! This time, it’s our first dessert! Almond Tofu!
