How To Cook Tofu

One of the popular Korean toppings is poached tofu. Tofu is healthy, in principle. It is rich in protein and so, when it is poached it provides for lots of nutritional elements for vegans and vegetarians. It normally saves all its features when kept in the fridge so you can cook it in good supply and enjoy the dish for days. It is served both as hot and cold meal.
