Crunchy Peanut Tofu

Peanut, miso and tofu – a perfect match! I love this combo since I´ve had my first bite. And it´s not incredibly delicious but also healthy. Peanuts contain essential fats and proteins. Miso is fermented and said to be good for digestion and your gut health. Lastly tofu is a source of vegan protein and secondary phytochemicals. So, worth to try this recipe!

P.S: You could serve it with some veggies or brown rice to make it even better and healthier.
