I usually use kanten, but I made this with kudzu starch since I had a lot at hand. It turned out great with an authentic texture.

It's better to use 100% kudzu starch (without mixing in with sweet potato starch or tapioca flour).
Remember to strain the mixture! It'll taste the same, but it'll have a cleaner finish. For example, the tofu in the picture was made without straining. Recipe by @niko
