Because: it's super easy to make and quick to get on the table, it celebrates tomatoes like no other dish can, and it's also budget friendly. Essential are only two things: good tofu and, of course, good tomatoes. Our tips: Our Vietnamese Tomato Tofu is, of course, the perfect dish to make the best out of the fresh summer tomatoes. If tomatoes are not in season, you can also use canned tomatoes and use the syrup a little more sparingly."
