Nutritional values

Tofu is a very good source of protein, especially for vegetarians and vegans, but also for everyone else. In addition, it is easy to digest, which is why tofu can be on the menu more often if the stomach and intestines are sensitive. The cucumber has a slightly draining effect and can stimulate the production of digestive juices with its bitter substances.

If you have even more time available, you can marinate the tofu in the fridge overnight - this adds even more spice and saves time on the day of preparation accordingly.
