About Tofu and ground meat in sauce
Tofu and Ground Meat in Sauce is a flavorful dish commonly found in East Asian cuisine, such as Chinese or Japanese cooking. It typically features tofu, a protein-rich soybean product, paired with ground meat, such as pork, beef, or chicken, all simmered in a savory, spiced sauce often made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and chili paste. The tofu provides an excellent source of plant-based protein, iron, and calcium while being low in calories and cholesterol-free. Ground meat contributes additional protein but may add fats depending on the cut used. The sauce can be high in sodium, which health-conscious diners may want to monitor. Served over rice or with vegetables, this dish offers a balance of textures and a hearty, umami-packed profile. Modifications, like leaner meats or reduced-sodium sauces, can make this dish even healthier while preserving its bold flavors.
