KOREAN SIDE DISH · BANCHAN
Braised tofu
Drain tofu before pan-searing and add sauce gradually; tofu does not cancel out sodium in the sauce.

Nutrition and its role in meals
Vary your protein sources
Foods such as tofu and eggs can diversify protein choices in a meal. Protein is needed to build and maintain body tissues. One side dish alone does not make a balanced meal.
Before you eat
Avoid tofu if you have a soy allergy, and check wheat in soy sauce.
