Nutritional values
Tofu is a great source of protein, which is important for strong muscles and bones, while the hot and exotic spices stimulate the metabolism and also stimulate digestion.
Fresh baby corn cobs are particularly delicious, but not always easy to find. Canned mini-cobs are much easier to find and can easily be used as a substitute.
