Yong Tau Fu.....!

All this healthy eating has set off the trigger. A week of subway submarine sandwiches and I thought I can do better than that! Make a diet plan such that I can never get bored of Subway (How I love it!).. So today I had the healthiest meal ! The Chinese Yong Tau fu. It is a clear soup containing a variety of food. It’s particularly healthy as you have the option to choose the  vegetables that are put in ( a-la-carte). The clear soup is based on water and contains soy bean, there is little to no oil involved during cooking and most of the ingredients.

This is how you order:  You choose the vegetables, greens,noodles that you want , these are then boiled (in front of you)briefly in the soup  and it’s served all together in a bowl.
I chose,
Lady’s finger
beancurd skin
Seaweed
Aubergine(brinjal)
mushrooms
Noodles:  Yellow & bee hoon(bee hoon is nothing but the vermicelli we use)
Sauce: Chilli  & sweet brown sauce
(Ofcourse you have a choice of seafood and meat . My Singaporean colleague/friend helped me pick out my veggies )

I had the dish served ‘dry’ with only the sauces and took the soup separately.

This is eaten with chopsticks but alas! I dont know how to use one! So I devoured my meal with a fork and a spoon!

Low in calories, carbohydrates and fat. High vegetable intake to get vitamins and proteins and tasty too! YUMMY! I have no doubt it will help my waist-line :)

This country is a Food Paradise and I intend to explore it within my vegetarian limits!!
