I chose to serve my dish with broccoli, just like the creator of the dish does in her recipe video. Broccoli adds antioxidants and Vitamin C for collagen production, whilst also containing a substance named “glucoraphanin” – this gets converted into sulforaphane by the body, promoting skin repair and skin health.
Even without the broccoli however, this recipe is crammed with ingredients that your skin will love! For example, this recipe uses fresh oranges, which famously contain Vitamins A and C, and garlic, which possesses antioxidant qualities.
In addition to this, the star of the original recipe, tofu, works wonders on our skin, as soy is high in both protein and calcium, as well as isoflavones which has been found to improve skin elasticity, water-holding capacity, pigmentation and vascularity.
As mentioned previously, I used a different protein (merely because it was what I had in the fridge at the time) – a plant-based chicken brand popular in the UK. This is fortified with vitamin B12 and iron, as well as being high in protein, and having a production process that has minimal impact on the environment.
I really can’t hype this recipe up enough! It has to be tasted to be believed.
