About Tofu sambal

Tofu Sambal is a vibrant, spicy dish rooted in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine. It features tofu cubes, lightly fried for a crispy texture, simmered in a bold sambal sauce made from chili peppers, garlic, shallots, and tamarind, often balanced with a hint of sweetness from palm sugar. As a plant-based protein, tofu is rich in essential amino acids and low in saturated fat, making it a heart-healthy choice. The dish also provides antioxidants from chilies and garlic, which support immune health. However, the fried preparation and sugar content in some variations can add extra calories, so moderation is key for those mindful of fat and sugar intake. Tofu Sambal is versatile, pairing well with steamed rice or fresh vegetables, making it an excellent addition to a wholesome, balanced diet.
