Deep-fried Tofu that has meaty texture is a great source of plant-based protein and it can be used for a variety of dishes. It goes so well with Miso. My family’s favourite is provably ‘Fried Tofu & Cabbage with Sesame Miso Sauce’. Today I cooked it with Soy Beans that I cooked the other day. Edamame Beans, that are young Soy Beans, can be used instead. Tofu is made from Soy Beans. The Miso that I used was made from Soy Beans. So, this is a triple Soy Bean dish.
