**Soybean-based Flavor**
Using soybeans as the main ingredient, both the bean gluten and bean curd rolls emit a natural soybean aroma. They have (flexible and chewy) texture, allowing you to feel the unique density and springiness of soy products when chewing. The dried bean curd is more compact, with a rich soybean flavor, and its texture becomes plump after absorbing the seasoning sauce.
**Spicy and Bold Impact**
