Fried Tofu Puffs

Fried Tofu Puff is a popular ingredient in East and Southeast Asian cuisines—made by deep-frying tofu into light, airy pouches used in soups, stir-fries and hot pots. It provides concentrated plant protein, delivering about 12.5g of protein per 100g. Because it is deep-fried, Fried Tofu Puff is relatively energy-dense and rich in fats, but much of the fat profile is from unsaturated oils and it can contribute useful omega‑3s and plant-based protein to a meal. It also supplies some minerals like manganese and copper and a small amount of fiber. From a nutritional perspective, Fried Tofu Puff is a convenient way to boost plant protein and healthy fats in dishes; choosing baked, air-fried or lightly pan-fried preparations can keep the same texture while reducing added oil and calories.
