Chinese Toon Tossed with Tofu

Why people make this dish

Nourilo loves this one when spring toon shoots come into season — they have a fragrant, almost garlicky aroma that wakes up the appetite. Tossed with cool, soft tofu it makes a light, refreshing little side dish. Traditionally it is enjoyed to support the spleen, lift the qi (energy), and nourish the eyes, and it is gentle enough for young and old alike.
