About Deep fried sticky tofu

Deep Fried Sticky Tofu is a savory dish often found in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese and Taiwanese street food. It features cubes of firm tofu coated in a light batter, deep-fried until golden and crispy, then glazed with a sweet and savory sticky sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and sometimes chili for heat. The dish is garnished with sesame seeds and scallions for added texture and flavor. Tofu itself is a great source of plant-based protein, iron, and calcium, making it a nutritious option in moderation. However, deep frying increases the calorie and fat content, and the sticky sauce can add significant sugar and sodium levels. For a healthier version, the tofu could be baked or air-fried, and the sauce adjusted for lower sugar and salt. Deep Fried Sticky Tofu combines bold flavors and textures, making it a popular indulgence for plant-based and omnivorous eaters alike.
