Thinking about trying something new for supper tonight? Maybe you should consider tofu.
Rich in protein and full of bone building calcium tofu is a healthy alternative to animal protein. It has been used for cooking in Asian cultures for
centeries. Tofu takes on the
flavour of what you cook it with and this recipe is packed full of flavour and nutrition. If you cut the tofu into small bite size pieces you may be able to fool your family into thinking its chicken!
