Tofu puffs are chewy squares of deep-fried tofu. They are available in Asian markets and the international section of some supermarkets. This recipe includes a nutritional breakdown.
In a large pot, combine onions, carrot, string beans, potato, 1/4 cup water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer until vegetables are tender (about 20 min). Mix the rest of the ingredients except frozen peas and add to vegetables in the pot. Continue cooking for another 10 min. Add peas and cook another 5 min. Caution: tofu puff absorbs the gravy very well, and can be very hot in the centre.
Nutritional value per serving: 210 calories, 10g protein, 7.5g fat, 28g carbohydrates.
