Tofu Pok is a versatile and popular Southeast Asian food ingredient made from soybeans. It originates primarily from Chinese cuisine but is widely used in Malaysian, Singaporean, and Indonesian cooking. These puffy tofu cubes are created by deep-frying tofu, which causes them to develop a golden, crispy exterior and an airy, spongy interior, perfect for soaking up flavorful sauces and broths. Tofu Pok is rich in protein and contains essential amino acids, making it a good plant-based choice for vegetarians and vegans. Additionally, it provides iron, calcium, and other minerals beneficial for bone and muscle health. However, its deep-fried preparation increases oil content, resulting in higher fat and calorie levels compared to regular tofu. Moderate consumption and pairing with nutrient-rich ingredients like vegetables and lean proteins can make it a balanced addition to a meal.
