This is easy to make and a good source of proteins with complementary nutritional qualities. It is also rich in fiber and makes a sustaining dish that is perfect before an active afternoon. Laurent&Magalie recommend using the Taifun smoked tofu that contains sesame seeds and has a consistency that reminds you of cheese, but feel free to use your favorite tofu.
