Vietnamese Tofu with Tomato Sauce (Đậu Sốt Cà Chua)
This vegetarian dish only takes 10-15 minutes start to finish and can easily be converted to a vegan recipe. It is so delicious and hearty over a bowl of rice and only requires a few ingredients. Ever since I’ve tried it, it’s become a staple in my household as a healthy, easy dish to cook up! It is rich in protein from the tofu and is packed with vitamin C and vitamin K from the tomatoes. If you can’t find tofu puffs, extra firm tofu broken up also works great! Be sure to try this one out! I promise it’ll be part of your dinner rotation in no time!
