My husband said this a long time ago, "I heard Tofu is healthy, but I tasted nothing when I had it and I don't understand why people are interested in that."Yes! Tofu is not the thing to have by itself. Always should be eaten with soy sauce, put in miso soup, or something else...In Japan, tofu is used for many things. Menu of stew, grill, stir-fry, bake, steam, or mix with something - just like you use meat.This is a "steam" menu with tofu. Mix with Hanpen fish cake (made from the mixture of minced cod fish, egg white, Chinese yam, and some seasonings).
