Tofu puffs are light, airy cubes of deep-fried tofu commonly used in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, such as Chinese, Thai, and Malaysian dishes. Made from soybeans, tofu puffs are rich in plant-based protein and contain essential amino acids, making them a popular choice for vegetarians and vegans. Their porous texture allows them to soak up flavors, making them versatile for soups, curries, and stir-fries. While tofu itself is low in calories and saturated fat, tofu puffs are deep-fried, which adds oil and increases calorie content. They also provide a moderate amount of calcium, iron, and magnesium. Opting for baked or air-fried tofu puffs can reduce their fat content for a healthier option. Tofu puffs are a delicious, nutrient-dense addition to various dishes when enjoyed in moderation.
