Minh Tsai founded Hodo in 2004 after starting the business at Bay Area farmers markets, including the Palo Alto Farmers Market and the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.[2][3]

By 2017, Hodo's yuba was being sold in grocery chains and independent supermarkets across the United States, and it was appearing on the menus of Bay Area restaurants including State Bird Provisions, SingleThread, Slanted Door, Mister Jiu's, and Burma Superstar.[4]

Products

Hodo makes tofu, yuba, and other plant-based foods.[5] Foodwise says the company also makes plant-based meat and egg alternatives such as Thai Curry Nuggets, Mexican Crumbles, and the All-Day Egg Scramble.[6]

The Kitchn included Hodo Firm Tofu in its plant-based grocery recommendations in 2021 and 2022.[8][9]
