Danli Luo, a University of Washington doctoral student of human centered design and engineering, developed a toolkit of sensors and controllers that helped her re-create three dishes from growing up in China: rice wine, tofu and spring roll wrappers. Luo used the tofu she made in a recipe for mapo tofu, shown here.

Danli Luo, a University of Washington doctoral student of human centered design and engineering, developed a toolkit of sensors and controllers that helped her re-create three dishes from growing up in China: rice wine (process shown here), tofu and spring roll wrappers. While making the rice wine, Luo discovered that she needed to adjust the temperature of the water bath the reaction was sitting in (metal bowl, middle panel) to keep the rice wine from turning into vinegar.
