Fried Tofu with Minced Meat

Whenever I cook tofu, there will not be any fish or chicken platter for dinner. The tofu or bean curd is one of the best source of low-cost, high quality protein available in the market.

I would normally lightly fry the off-white firm tofu to make it slightly more crispy and fragrant. The whole family enjoys this dish, even my daughter who does not fancy eating tofu very much.
