Thanks @simhazel for helping me to buy my first Tofu🙈
Más de 6 años sin comer carne y es mi primera vez que compró Tofu😱
Nunca me gustó mucho la textura así que no me tincaba hacerlo en casa... Hasta que vi los platos que preparaba @mariatirador 😂 y me encantó!!!
Hice un frito de verduras y Tofu acompañado de porotos negros y arroz♥️ super fácil, nutritivo y delicioso!!

Loveeeeeeeeee! This is the closest thing I can find to Indonesian tahu, which I really miss when I’m not in Indonesia. Big bonus is that it’s non-GMO and each piece is huge. This packet is enough to feed four to five people. #jaan

Tau kwa is the extra firm tofu which is a good natural source of protein and fatty acids. Low in saturated fat, it is excellent for braising or frying. The texture is smooth and it cuts well. Another plus point is that it is affordable at $1 for two large pieces.

The only brand of tau kwa/tofu I buy. I love love love their products, especially their tau kwa. It's super value for money and is a great way to get your protein in. I would have included a picture of the finished dish, but I gobbled it all up before I could snap one! 😅 #veganuary
