Delicious Yunnan Jianshui Tofu

Tofu is an invention of China and a specialty of China. For thousands of years, it has been one of the main dishes in China. In the era of lack of materials, even only on holidays or weddings and funerals can we have a chance to eat. At that time, it was a great favor for anyone who had a wedding (happy event) to get a "one" (which can be divided into nine to sixteen pieces of tofu you usually bought in the market) from the closest relatives and friends.

Today, tofu, dried tofu, dried tofu, moldy tofu, bean curd, bean skin, bean bran and bean dregs are still common ingredients in people's homes.

Tofu also has many industrial uses.

However, in this special place of Yunnan, the tofu produced is also unique, especially the tofu block as small as a coin-Jianshui tofu.

Where is Jianshui?

Yunnan, Honghe Prefecture, Jianshui County.

This is also a tourist attraction. It is precisely because of the development of tourism that Jianshui tofu ripples from the depths of the mountains in Yunnan, swings to cities such as Kunming, and overflows all over the country and even around the world.

Tourism is not only the travel and communication of people, but also the development and prosperity of characteristic products.

What is Jianshui tofu like?

That year, we drove from Yunnan to Kunming, and it was already evening. At the beginning of the lights, there are young people in twos and threes around the small oven, a pair of bamboo chopsticks and a few bottles of wine, enjoying themselves. On the charcoal stove, things that look like chestnuts are baked on the grid, some are as white as eggs, and some are as yellow as ripe chestnuts.

Curiosity changes the world. Let's find a place to park and go back to the street stall we just passed.

Seeing others eating comfortably, I asked, "What are you eating?" The young man smiled and replied, "Tofu."

"So small, still called tofu?" Compared with the tofu we usually see, it is simply a "children's biscuit".

People who eat tofu laugh at us and say that it is tofu, called Jianshui tofu! And pointed to the nearby sign and said, "Well, Jianshui Tofu."

Eating it is white.

Then I have to try.

So we called the boss, arranged a barbecue, pulled a small plastic stool to sit down, patiently waited for a small piece of tofu on the grill to be baked, and then stole the skills, holding chopsticks, putting tofu on it, dipping it in Hu Chili powder, and sending it to your mouth, not wanting to be burned by the heat inside the tofu. At that time, I only felt that the taste was very special, the appearance was very funny, the price was very affordable, and the practice was very casual. Not the most flavorful.

Taste the heart that needs appreciation, otherwise it is just to fill the stomach.

Jianshui stinky tofu was famous in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It was made by hand and made of excellent materials. The key thing that can't be copied is the local well water that is said to be sour and astringent when making tofu. One day you have to experience it for yourself.

What's the special taste of Jianshui tofu?

It was five years ago that I tasted Jianshui tofu again.

The family bought Jianshui tofu and seasoned Hu Chili powder online and roasted them at home to entertain friends.

Shooting in vertical autumn.

The method is simple: set the electric oven to medium temperature, add the tofu wrapped in Jianshui, bake it slowly with low fire, and sometimes turn it over with chopsticks until the color is golden and reddish, and when the tofu swells, you can take one out and stick it on the red pepper powder on the plate to enjoy. When dipped in pepper powder, you can often hear the sound of hot air escaping from tofu. Why didn't you hear the sound of tofu?

You'd better prick it when eating, so as not to burn your mouth. At this time, you will feel the hot air circulating in your mouth, and the tofu skin is crisp and delicious, while the soft tofu heart makes you realize the artistic conception of patina and the smooth beauty of plant protein.

How impatient you are, if you don't pierce the tofu, you will exhale hot air and release heat, which is suitable for making expression packs. At this time, you will realize the value of the advice "You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient".

In general, barbecue is the best way and the most casual way to eat.

Taste delicious food and relax. It can be said that it is quick, convenient and pleasant to entertain guests, old and young, in Xian Yi. If you have a good time alone, you can also go to the till, raise my cup, ask the bright moon, bring me my shadow, and let the three of us.

Unlike other rest foods, you need to do it yourself and bake it slowly. Baking is a kind of leisure, and eating is also a kind of leisure, which is really pleasing to the eye and kills two birds with one stone.

When you are happy, you have to face the budget.

Usually a palm-sized tofu is only a few dollars. Jianshui tofu delivered by express delivery is weighed, and it costs tens of dollars a catty.

People finally turned tofu into a meat price!

This is also the benefit brought by the market economy. It allows people to enjoy specialties thousands of miles away without leaving home, satisfies people's yearning for a better life from a small place, and greatly improves the added value of products.
