About Fried beancurd

Fried beancurd, also known as tofu, is a popular dish in many Asian cuisines, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian. Made from soybeans, beancurd is pressed into blocks and then deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior while maintaining a soft, tender inside. This versatile dish can be seasoned with spices, sauces, or paired with vegetables and noodles for added flavor. Nutritionally, fried beancurd is a good source of plant-based protein, iron, and calcium, making it a favorite among vegetarians and vegans. However, the frying process adds extra calories and fat, which may pose health concerns if consumed in excess. Opting for lighter cooking methods, such as air frying or pan-searing, can reduce its fat content. Despite this, fried beancurd remains a satisfying and nutrient-rich option when enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
