About
This dish not only looks good, it does you good too. The discovery of Tofu was in China, the story is that a Chinese chef accidently curdled Soya milk when he added Nigari Seaweed – creating Tofu! How lucky for us, a protein that contains all the eight essential amino acids and Iron, Calcium, vitamin B1 to name just a few of it’s nutrients. Healthy eating! This dish perfectly complements the mushroom congee recipe which can be found here http://www.mynutricounter.com/mushroom-congee/.
