How to eat dried tofu

Dried tofu is a soy product made from soybeans as the main raw material. It is very popular because it tastes very good and contains rich nutrients. It has many benefits for the human body, such as improving immunity, relieving fatigue, anti-aging, etc. There are many ways to eat dried tofu, such as stir-fried dried tofu, celery mixed with dried tofu, etc. Here is a detailed introduction on how to eat dried tofu better?

1. Stir-fried Dried Tofu

Material

Green pepper, smoked tofu, lean pork, cornstarch, bean paste, cooking wine, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, green pepper

practice

1. Cut green pepper, smoked tofu (try to choose the thinner ones with a bacon flavor, which will taste better and be more fragrant when fried), and lean pork into shreds; mix the shredded pork with cornstarch, bean paste, and cooking wine and marinate for a while. Cut ginger and green pepper into shreds and slice garlic.

2. Pour oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add shredded ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the marinated shredded pork and stir-fry until it changes color. Serve on a plate and set aside for now.

3. Add a little oil and salt, and stir-fry the green pepper shreds. The purpose of this is to remove excess water and spiciness in the peppers, so you don’t need to stir-fry for a long time.

4. When the pepper starts to soften, add the dried tofu and stir-fry for a while; then add the fried shredded pork and stir-fry for a while; finally, add garlic slices and soy sauce for seasoning (I personally think soy sauce tastes more fragrant) and remove from the pan.

2. Celery and Dried Tofu

Material

Celery, dried tofu, Chinese sausage, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, tree pepper, sesame oil, MSG, salt, sugar

practice

1. Cut the celery and dried tofu into strips and blanch them separately. Remember to add a drop of oil and a little salt when blanching. To keep the celery crisp, do not blanch it for too long.

2. After repeated flushing, leave it for a while, drain the water and put it in a container.

3. Cut the sausage into strips and put it into a container, then add minced garlic.

4. Put a little oil in the pot. When the oil is hot, put in a few peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns and fry until fragrant. Then take out the peppercorns and put in the tree pepper and fry until fragrant. Pour into the container.

5. Add a little sugar, salt, MSG and sesame oil and mix well.

3. Fragrant marinated dried tofu

Material

15 spiced dried tofu, half a bowl of cooking oil, half a bowl of soy sauce, a tablespoon of soy sauce paste, a tablespoon of rock sugar, a spoonful of peppercorns, 4-5 star anise, 1-2 bay leaves, 4-5 garlic cloves, 4-5 slices of ginger, 1 large chili

practice

1. After buying the five-spice dried tofu, blanch it in boiling water first, let it cool down, then cut each into 4 small pieces for later use.

2. Put the dry pan without oil, fry the peppercorns and star anise on low heat until fragrant, then pour in cooking oil, add ginger slices and chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant.

3. Add the tofu cubes and stir-fry slightly. Add soy sauce, soy sauce paste, rock sugar and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then turn to medium-low heat. Stir-fry for about 10 to 15 minutes (repeat this step 3 to 4 times, so it will take 30 to 40 minutes to marinate). Finally, turn to low heat and marinate for 20 minutes. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.

4. The marinated dried tofu will be shiny and oily, and the texture will become chewy after cooling down. It does not need to be heated before eating, and it tastes delicious even when it is chilled!
