What is the hair of hairy tofu?

It generally uses high-quality soybeans produced locally in Huizhou that are as clear as jade and have grains like pearls to make tofu. The tofu must be as clear as snow, cut like jade, and not spill when it falls to the ground. After the tofu is made, it should be cut into long strips according to the standards of 12 cm long, 6 cm wide and 3 cm thick, then soaked in the originally squeezed water for a few hours, then neatly stacked on the straw mat in the cage, sprinkled with Add salt water, cover with gauze, and if it is winter, cover with clean straw, and then place it indoors for fermentation. After 3-5 days, a layer of inch-long white slender hairs will grow all over the body.

Based on the length and color of the fluff, hairy tofu can be divided into four types: tiger fur, mouse fur, rabbit fur, and cotton fur. This kind of white fluff is made from fermented mold, so it is also called molded tofu. During the fermentation process of tofu, the protein is decomposed into a variety of amino acids, making it taste more delicious than ordinary tofu.
