      Tofu + meat, protein is easy to absorb

      Soybeans are known as "plant meat" and are the best protein among plant foods. Tofu made from soybeans is of course not bad in protein either. However, the content and proportion of protein and amino acids in tofu are not very reasonable, nor are they particularly suitable for human body digestion and absorption.

      Therefore, if you add some foods with very high protein quality while eating tofu, it can play a "protein complementary" role with the tofu, so that the protein of tofu can be better absorbed and utilized by the body. These high-quality protein foods are not meat and egg Nothing else. Therefore, roasting tofu with minced meat, mixing preserved eggs with tofu, etc. can make the protein of tofu better absorbed.

      Tofu + egg yolk, blood tofu, more calcium supplement

      Just like taking calcium tablets while supplementing vitamin D, eating tofu to supplement calcium must be paired with some vitamin D-rich foods. Because vitamin D plays a very important role in the absorption and utilization of calcium. Although tofu is very rich in calcium, and northern tofu contains more calcium than the same amount of milk, when eating tofu, it is more effective when paired with foods rich in vitamin D.

      Egg yolk is rich in vitamin D, so the delicious and tender egg yolk tofu is an excellent dish for calcium supplementation. Animal internal organs, such as liver, and blood are also high in vitamin D, so it is also ideal to make white tofu and blood tofu together to make "red and white tofu". In addition, animal offal such as chicken gizzards and pork liver also play a very good role in increasing the calcium absorption of tofu.
