My family loves to eat tofu. Every time we eat at a restaurant, we try to order at least one tofu dish. At home, I try to incorporate tofu in the dishes I cook for my family. So when my son brought back this Japanese cookbook from his trip to Japan last month, the first thing I looked up was tofu dishes. I wasn’t disappointed. I found this simple and easy tofu dish that I made for my family on the weekend. It consists simply of fried tofu topped with fresh salsa. What makes this dish delicious is the salsa, which is composed of tomatoes, red onion, parsley, olive oil, soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. The salsa is so good and refreshing; I used the left- over as a dressing for my salad. This healthy dish is a hit with my family; I am planning to make it again 😀
