NOTES : A delicious vegetarian dish to serve on its own or as part of a complete Chinese meal. Made from soya milk in a similar process to cheese-making, tofu is a natural vegetable product that is high in protein and calcium and low in fat. It is extremely versatile and can be stir-fried, grilled, barbecued and marinated. If you freeze tofu and then defrost it, it becomes firmer and chewier with a more 'meaty' texture.
