Stir Fry Korean Firm Tofu (Dubu) with Minced Meat

Tofu & minced meat is always my 1st choice to cook for the kids. It is easy to eat, they do not need to use too much time to chew. Besides,tofu is another option of healthier plant based protein. I am training my kids to eat "everything" & do not be too choosy on food. They need to learn to appreciate whatever is served on the table. Granny & parents taught us the same idea when we were kids. Got to pass some of these wisdom to them.

I am using Chongga firm tofu for this dishes. Chongga offer two version of firm tofu (or Dubu -豆腐, 두부 in Korean language). 

• Soyrich tofu for stew 
• Soyrich tofu for frying ( I love the frying type)

I like the firm texture of these Korean tofu (口感很好).
