The coating and the shallow frying of the tofu give it a delicious crisp texture (if you dont eat fried foods the tofu can just be served as it comes). And the mango salsa is a delicious fresh, zingy accompaniment. The turmeric used in the tofu coating has powerful anti inflammatory qualities and there is immune system strengthening raw garlic in the salsa. Although it’s probably best not to have this before a job interview or a date.
