1, tofu+fish eggs
Tofu is rich in high-quality protein, but less methionine. Methionine is an essential amino acid for human body and participates in the synthesis of protein. The amino acid composition in fish, meat and eggs is more suitable for human needs, especially rich in methionine, which can obviously complement tofu. Classic practices include fish head tofu soup, braised fish tofu, baked tofu balls, minced meat tofu, preserved egg tofu and so on.
2, tofu+kelp
Tofu contains saponin, which helps to inhibit fat absorption and promote fat decomposition, and has a certain effect on preventing arteriosclerosis. However, saponin can promote iodine excretion and easily lead to iodine deficiency. Therefore, cooking tofu with iodine-rich foods such as kelp, laver and sea cabbage will kill two birds with one stone, such as tofu seaweed soup.
3, tofu+cabbage
Chinese cabbage is rich in water, dietary fiber and vitamin C, which can make up for the deficiency of dietary fiber in tofu. Fried tofu with Chinese cabbage and stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage are good choices.
Need to be reminded that eating a lot of tofu will consume too much plant protein, increase nitrogen-containing waste in the body, and increase the burden on the kidneys. Therefore, the elderly and people with kidney disease, iron deficiency anemia, gout and arteriosclerosis should control the consumption of tofu.
