I LOVE TOFU

Hey.. Everyone...
We meet again...

Today I want to use tofu again,but this tofu is different compared to yesterday's. We can call it Silken or Soft or Japanese Tofu. Why is this tofu different? Because this tofu has a softer consistency than regular tofu and will fall apart if not handled carefully.

This is a tip for people who want to go on a diet. Tofu has low calorie count, relatively large amount of protein, and little fat.
