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 of fish is suitable for human needs, especially rich in methionine, which can obviously complement tofu. Classic practices include fish head tofu soup, tofu braised fish 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.
4, tofu+radish
Tofu is a plant protein. Eating too much will lead to indigestion. White radish can promote digestion. If mixed with tofu, it will be beneficial to the absorption of tofu. Tofu is rich in calcium, and white radish does not contain oxalic acid, which will not hinder the absorption of calcium.
5, tofu+eggs
Egg tofu can improve the utilization rate of protein in tofu, and it tastes more delicious. And eating tofu and eggs together is also beneficial to the absorption of calcium.
