About Fried tofu puffs

Fried tofu puffs are bite-sized pieces of tofu that have been deep-fried until they develop a golden, airy, and sponge-like texture. Originating from East and Southeast Asian cuisines, these versatile puffs are commonly used in dishes like soups, stir-fries, curries, and hot pots due to their ability to soak up flavors from sauces and broths. Made primarily from soybean curd, tofu puffs are rich in plant-based protein, iron, and calcium, making them a nutritious option for vegetarian and vegan diets. However, the frying process adds extra fat and calories, so moderation is key when incorporating them into balanced meals. Often gluten-free and easy to prepare, fried tofu puffs offer a satisfying texture and adaptability in a wide range of recipes.
