Who’s a Tofu fan? well, I’m not. I found some very few dishes that make me appreciate tofu. especially firm tofu, which I know, it’s kind of weird. Well, it doesn’t really matter if you are a tofu fan or not, you’ll love this recipe.

You know I love colours. I’m just addicted. But you should know by now I love tasty colourful dishes. Especially if they’re quick and easy to make. This appetizer is all of that: tasty, easy and colourful. Why not impressing some guests or friend with a colour changing appetizer?

Pro: very very tasty and quick, cabbage and wakame taste quite strong.

Cons: cabbage and wakame taste quite strong, hubby didn’t appreciate so much.
