About Tofu, fried
Fried tofu takes the lean profile of fresh tofu and shifts it considerably by adding oil during cooking. The fat content climbs well above fresh tofu, while protein remains high and carbohydrates stay low with modest fiber. The exterior develops a golden, slightly chewy crust while the interior stays custardy. Used throughout East and Southeast Asian cooking in soups, braises, and stir-fries, fried tofu readily absorbs broths and sauces. It is more calorie-dense than fresh tofu but still a legitimate protein source with no meat.
