About Salt and pepper tofu

Salt and Pepper Tofu is a popular dish rooted in Chinese cuisine, showcasing crispy tofu cubes seasoned with salt, cracked black pepper, and aromatic spices like garlic and chili. The tofu is typically coated in cornstarch before frying, creating a light, crunchy exterior while maintaining a soft, custard-like interior. Often garnished with green onions or chili flakes, it delivers a bold and satisfying flavor. Nutritionally, tofu provides a high-quality plant-based protein source, along with iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids, making this dish suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It’s low in saturated fat compared to animal proteins, though frying can add extra calories and fat, so moderation is key. Pairing with steamed vegetables or a lighter side can balance the meal’s nutritional profile. Salt and Pepper Tofu combines texture, taste, and nutritional benefits, making it a versatile and flavorful option for diverse diets.
