About Chili tofu

Chili Tofu is a flavorful dish rooted in Indo-Chinese cuisine, blending bold spices and fresh ingredients. Made with crispy pan-fried or baked tofu cubes, the recipe features a savory blend of garlic, ginger, onions, bell peppers, and chili sauce, creating a perfect balance of heat and tanginess. Light soy sauce and vinegar enhance its rich, umami flavor while cornstarch ensures a glossy, velvety texture. Packed with protein from tofu, this dish is a great option for vegetarian diets and is low in cholesterol. The inclusion of fresh vegetables provides vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, contributing to overall health. However, it can be high in sodium due to soy sauce and chili sauce, and frying tofu might add extra fat. For a lighter option, opt for baked tofu and reduced-sodium sauces. Chili Tofu is a satisfying, plant-based dish that combines nutrition with vibrant culinary tradition.
