Simple Breaded Tofu
(from elilegacy’s recipe box)
Tofu, or bean curd, tokwa to Pinoys, is a big part of Filipino and Asian cooking, particularly in Japanese and Chinese cuisine.
Not to mention that tofu is a very healthy alternative to meat because it has no fats but supplies the body with needed protein. This humble food ingredient, as you know, is made from soybeans that also used to make Miso and soy milk.
One particular and very simple way to cook tofu is to smother it with bread crumbs and deep fried. Breaded Tofu with accompanying sauce is great for appetizers, pulutan, and good enough to eat with rice for a full meal.
