Nutritional values

Tofu is cholesterol-free and rich in protein and essential amino acids. Potassium, calcium and B-vitamins, especially folic acid, are also abundant in this recipe.

If you can't find bok choy, use chard or chinese cabbage. Just make sure to cut the stems or leave the leaves a little smaller.
