Jenny’s Tofu

by Joseph Xu on January 28, 2025

Jenny’s Tofu

How Tradition Continues To Evolve


Jenny Yang had always enjoyed the local Chicago staple Phoenix Bean. So when the opportunity came to buy it, she was not only determined to carry on the tofu-making tradition, but it was also a way for her to launch her own creations with Jenny’s Tofu. An added incentive? To help those who do not consume dairy, like her kids, by promoting the benefits of soy.


“The opportunity for us to continue to grow any kind of regional agriculture, that’s a super important piece of all of our work that we do every day. The end product is the joy, but the journey is where we really want to focus our energy.”
