Steamed Tofu with Minced Meat
Minced meat with mix vegetable braised in a sweet and savoury sauce, poured over melt-in-the-mouth steamed silken tofu. Yums! This is my type of low carb, high protein meal made in a jiffy. I usually eat this 20 minutes meal on it's own, but it is an excellent dish to serve up with rice as well.
