Braised Tofu and Vegetables

Recipe by: Melissa

Be the first to review it!

I love the braised tofu served at Chinese restaurants, but at home I like to make it healthier (without the deep frying). In my version, I use a lot of vegetables to make it more filling. This dish is good on its own or with rice.
