Fried Tofu with beef




This is an excellent choice of tofu recipes. Fried tofu with beef is a great choice for the evening meal.

But I don’t think that the whole family would like it, because it is a little bit too spicy for the children. If you won’t that spicy, don’t use Birdseye chilies. They are too hot; you can substitute them with 1 seeded red chili. The taste would be softer so your children can eat too.

And another advice is to cut the tofu smaller than 1x1 inch if you prepare it for the whole family. The sponge taste of tofu would be less(the most children don't like tofu), and it tastes more to the beef and I bet your children would like it. And not to forget, this dish is a low calorie recipe so it will meet your criteria of healthy living.

Ingredients:

  • 1 big tofu, cubed the tofu in small and plat size 1x1 inch or smaller size
