Nagaimo (Mountain Yam) Tofu Soup 山药豆腐汤

This is a nourishing one-pot dish packed with proteins (mushrooms and tofu) and fiber (mountain yam - Nagaimo， 山药 and celery) adapted from a TV programme. The show particularly highlighted the benefits of mountain yam - Nagaimo and the host-cum-cook used soy milk (in replacement of water) for the added nourishment, as the cooking broth.


With this substantial one-pot dish that is able to stand as a meal, it can substitute carbs-of-the-day.
