Tofu and Tomatoes With Spinach and Basil Recipe | Epicurious - 万博官网,万博亚洲正规品牌,manbetx苹果下载

Sizzling, juicy tomatoes with tofu is a really popular dish at the Vietnamese table; it has a wonderful umami flavor and is quick and easy to prepare. You can actually use any savory condiment here, from soy sauce to(vegan) fish sauce. Use any sweet and sour seasoning too, depending on what you have around, for extra goodness. I like to stir inspinachor kale from time to time.
