Once in a big store I met a product called "Tofu" on the shelves. I didn't know what it was at that time, but out of curiosity I bought it anyway. When I came home and tasted this cheese, I was disappointed. The next day I told my friends, so to speak, I conducted an anti-advertisement. So one of my friends said that she didn't like it at first either, but it turns out it's worth trying a skillfully cooked dish with Tofu once, and you'll get rid of the first impression forever. At home, I rummaged in my bins and really found a good recipe for fried tofu. My friend was right: by frying it and watering it with spicy sauce, you will get an unusual, exotic dish. Tofu soy curd can be bought today without any problems. Tofu cheese is a product that people who adhere to a proper and healthy diet include in their diet. Also, this amazing kind of cheese was chosen by those who are adherents of vegetarianism. Tofu cheese is found in large quantities in Asian dishes. Only the lazy are not familiar with this cheese. But, despite its popularity, the taste of soy cheese is not liked by everyone without exception. There are always a lot of controversial conversations around it concerning its beneficial and harmful properties. Given this, I would like to note that there can be no obvious harm from eating cheese made from natural soybeans, in principle. As for the benefits, there will be an incredible amount of it from this product.
