sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Pressing tofu thoroughly before cooking removes excess moisture that prevents proper flavor absorption and reduces bloating potential. Pan-frying cubes until golden creates a satisfying exterior that digests efficiently without requiring heavy digestive effort. Using low-FODMAP marinades prevents hidden garlic or onion compounds from transforming gentle protein into a digestive trigger. Always choose water-packed varieties over pre-seasoned options to control ingredient exposure precisely.
