I luuuuuv tofu. Actually, I love all soy bean products. Miso, Soy sauce, Natto (fermented soy beans), Edamame, Soy milk.....
Tofu can be eaten in so many different ways, it is wonderful. Today, I introduce "Tofu and Broccoli Salad". When tofu is used like this and mixed with some vegetables, the dish is typically called "shira-a-eh". The texture is almost like cottage cheese. This is also quite filling, yet so low-calorie and low-fat! —kotokoto eats
