Pronunciation
Noun
တိုဟူး • (tuihu:)
- tofu; (specifically) chickpea bean curd
Usage notes
တိုဟူး usually refers to chickpea tofu, a common delicacy in Burmese cuisine. ပဲပြား (pai:pra:) is used to describe tofu made from soy. This is in contrast to most, if not all, borrowings of the Sinitic term 豆腐 (dòufu) in other languages, which refer to soy tofu by default.
