Healthy Fact of the Day

Crispy Baked Korean Tofu Bowls are a nutritious and flavorful meal option. Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein, and baking it helps create a crispy texture without the need for frying.

To make this meal even healthier, consider using brown rice or quinoa as the base, and opt for low-sodium soy sauce or tamari. Portion control is key, as the tofu and rice can be filling. Enjoy this dish as part of a balanced diet, and remember that moderation is important for all foods, even healthy ones.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
