Tofu is the most common food in our daily lives and has a very long history, it is not limited by the seasons, and can be eaten all year round. Tofu can be used to stew, fry, fry, mix, which contains a variety of essential trace elements and rich high-quality protein, known as "plant meat" title, nutrient digestion and absorption rate of more than 95%, so it is deeply loved by everyone. In fact, I still have some origins with tofu, when I was a child, my family was opened a tofu factory, that era was not mechanized, purely using ancient technology to make tofu, the production process was first pulping, that is, soybeans were made into soy milk, the second step was solidified, that is, the soy milk was solidified into a gel containing a lot of water under the joint action of heat and coagulant, and finally pressed out the water into tofu.
We northerners often make stewed tofu to eat, which can be accompanied by vegetables and meats, such as beef, pork, fish, cabbage, kelp, etc., which is characterized by a thick soup and a lower meal. Another way to eat is also very popular, that is, the fried tofu we see at the roadside stalls in the night market is a flavor snack, in fact, we can also make it at home, as long as we use a pan and a bowl of sauce to do it. The finished product is crisp and tender and fragrant, simple and affordable, really delicious to no friends!
