Tofu is low in calories, contains beneficial amounts of iron and has no saturated fat. It is high in protein and calcium and well known for its ability to absorb new flavors through spices and marinades. Tofu also contains soy isoflavones, which can mimic natural human estrogens and may have a variety of harmful or beneficial effects when eaten in sufficient quantities. Due to its chameleon-like qualities and nutritional value, tofu is a staple of Asian cuisines for hundreds of years.

I'm in a tofu mood at the moment, this recipe looks very delicious (drooling) :)
ReplyDeleteCan other meats be added to this as well as it marinates/cooks? I would love to introduce tofu around here but not sure if I would do it on its own - but included with some other meat I may get away with it.
ReplyDeletethis is dish goes so well with a bowl of rice porridge! yum yum . .

ReplyDeleteI suppose you could add whatever meat or seafood. Pan fry the meat until brown and 3/4 cooked before adding the marinate and lastly the tofu.
I like Tofu Fah and thanks to u for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge Tofu fan, so hopefully this as well as some of your other recipes will change my mood towards the tofu dishes..
