Legend has it that tofu was discovered by a health-conscious Chinese prince named Liu An more than 2,000 years ago when he was making an elixir. He realized that soy milk left in certain conditions coagulated and developed a pudding-like consistency – the beginnings of tofu. But historical records mentioning tofu only started to appear in the 900s during China’s Song Dynasty. It’s commonly believed that Buddhist monks visited China, then brought it back to neighboring countries like Japan — CNN.
