The 14th-century [?] cookery text of Ni Tsan, translated in the latest
PPC, seems to make no mention of it. Gluten, yes, but no dow fu. I
believe there are textual references to the food existing and being
eaten, but I don't recall anything that could be described as a recipe, offhand.

Somewhere I have a book on ancient Chinese culinary poems and other
texts and quotations. I'll see if I can find it.
