Name of the brown compact tofu?

Dears, as I was in Taiwan years ago, I saw in the markets two kinds of tofu; one was the “normal” white soft tofu, and the other was a compact tofu with brown skin. Perhaps compressed and roasted. Please let me know its name and how to produce it. Thank you!

I believe you mean dougan
