Braised Tofu Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Braised Tofu Recipe). I love the braised tofu served at Chinese restaurants, but at home I like to make it healthier (without the deep frying). In my version, I use a lot of vegetables to make it more filling for a lot less calories. This dish is good both over rice or stand alone.
