Steamed Tofu with Minced Meat

After the tofu is steamed, it’ll release some liquid, it’s difficult to drain it with the tofu being that soft. What I do is to tilt it, and use a clean paper towel to absorb all the excess liquid that way your sauce will not get watered down. This is an awesome low carb, high protein dinner that is ready in 20 mins! I can have the whole serving on my own as a main for dinner. You can also serve it up as an accompanying dish with rice and other dishes.
