Easy Dishes With Tofu

Tofu is one ingredient that I always buy when I go shopping because it is easy to eat without cooking and is very cheap. I have 2 tofu dishes to show you.

Tofu With Soy Sauce

If you don't have time, this is a great dish, no need to cook. Just put soy sauce on top and add some toppings such cut green onion, minced ginger, and sliced cucumber.

Fried Tofu

Just fry the Tofu in a frying pan with oil until done and eat with sweet chili sauce.

When I was in Thailand, my mom cooked tofu soup with Ivy Gourd leaves. I really love and miss it. I can't find Ive Gourd leaves in Japan. I remember that she harvested them near the fence of our house. How about you? What kind of dish can you cook with Tofu?
