Is Ma Po Tofu healthy?

Question

I like eating it, is it good for you? Its really kind of spicy, don't know if thats good or bad.

Answer 1

If it's meat free it's ok I suppose. Not really health food since it has alot of sodium and the sauce usually has MSG. brown rice is better than white rice. I don't think ma po tofu will taste that good with brown rice but I never tried...  If you make it yourself you can add all sorts of veggies to make it better.. baby corn, water chestnuts, green onions, spinach and other stir fry veggies.

Answer 2

Very little Chinese food, as it is cooked in American chain restaurants like PF Changs, is healthy.  It is loaded with sodium and sugar.  

To the poster before me, if tofu made your b*****s grow, I'd look like Pam Anderson.  Don't spread fallacious information.

Answer 3

Fried ground pork, spices, oil, and tofu.  What do you think?  The only healthy thing are the peas.  The soy in the tofu makes your b*****s grow, not good for men or women with breast cancer in their family.
