  • About

Tofu (soybean curd) is an excellent and inexpensive source of protein, iron, and sometimes calcium. You shouldn’t make the mistake, however, of thinking that because it’s a meatless food, it is low in fat. Tofu is, actually, moderate to moderately high in fat, though still considerably lower than beef or other red meats. This is a basic tofu preparation and a good illustration of how tofu absorbs and carries the flavors it is cooked with.
