Fried tofu is a recipe for an easy-to-make, tasty dish. Tofu is rich in protein and does not contain milk fat. It has a lot of iron and calcium. When choosing tofu, pay attention to the color. High-quality soy cheese is white. If it is yellow, it means the product was frozen. Due to its neutral taste, tofu has many cooking options. It is added to soups, salads, fried in breadcrumbs or batter.
