Sesame Crusted Tofu is a flavorful dish inspired by Asian cuisine, showcasing a crispy and nutty exterior with a soft, protein-packed interior. The recipe typically includes firm tofu, coated generously in sesame seeds, and optionally marinated in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for added depth. It is then pan-fried, baked, or air-fried to achieve a crunchy texture. High in plant-based protein, tofu is a great alternative for individuals seeking to reduce meat consumption. Sesame seeds add healthy fats, including heart-friendly unsaturated fats, alongside essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. The dish is low in cholesterol and can be prepared without added oil for an even healthier option. However, sodium levels might be higher if heavily seasoned, so opting for low-sodium soy sauce is recommended. Serve it over rice or steamed vegetables for a nutritious, balanced meal.
