Tofu finds more and more places in the diet of many people, because of its intake of vegetable proteins and “good fats”. But clearly, eating nature tofu is not very interesting. We must take the time to properly prepare it to really appreciate it, and for that marinades are perfect! For this recipe I chose a marinade with Asian flavors that is absolutely delicious and tasty. With basmati rice and green onion, you get a dish full of flavor.
240 g of firm tofu provides as much protein as 90 g of ground beef. With 6.3 g protein per 100 g, its protein intake is significantly higher than that of meat … and of the same quality!
The honey and sesame tofu recipe that I present to you today could be served in many ways. I decided to serve this one with rice, but you could very well serve it on a salad vermicelli, sautéed vegetables, whichever you prefer.
