asian inspired tofu with rice
This is a super quick tofu recipe that is sweet and spicy at the same time! The silken tofu just crumbles when you eat it and it pairs beautifully with the Asian flavours. I enjoy tofu when it’s prepared this way and its a great way to pack in plant based protein. Pair this up with any vegetables, and you have a beautifully balanced quick meal that is delicious as well!
