Tofu Recipes
Tofu, a food traditionally attributed to Liu An, the King of Huainan during the Western Han Dynasty, is made from soybeans and primarily composed of soy protein. It is rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium, offering benefits like clearing heat, moisturizing dryness, and providing nutritional supplementation. With its easy digestibility and low fat content, tofu is widely used in various recipes, including Mapo tofu, crucian carp and tofu soup, and home-style tofu. When consuming tofu, it is important for gout patients to avoid excessive intake. Additionally, tofu is perishable and should be refrigerated and consumed promptly. Known for its tender and smooth texture, tofu is a common delicacy on dining tables.
