The dishes named after Su Shi include Dongpo pork, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo fish and Dongpo tofu.

Su Shi is often called "Su Dongpo" by the world.

Dongpo meat is probably the most famous and common of these seven cuisines. This is a delicious food invented by Su Dongpo when he relegated Huangzhou. It is said that one day, Su Dongpo was at home and a friend happened to visit. There was nothing too delicious to entertain at home, so he put a piece of pork in the pot, simmered it with a small fire, and then began to chat with his friends.

Unexpectedly, I was so fascinated by playing chess that I forgot that there was pork stew in the pot, and I didn't remember it until the end of the game. So I quickly got up and took a look. I never thought that after the lid was lifted, the meat was ruddy and attractive. I was busy tasting it and was surprised by its mellow and delicious taste. As a result, Dongpo meat spread all over the world was invented.

It is said that Su Shi also wrote an article about this kind of pork at that time, but I don't know if it was handed down with this Dongpo meat.

On the origin of Dongpo tofu;

Dongpo tofu is a rare vegetarian dish named after Su Dongpo. It is a vegetarian dish for some reasons. Because this dish is not only related to Su Shi, but also involves another person, and this person is Su Shi's good friend-Fo Yin. Fo Yin is a monk, so he only eats vegetarian food.

It is said that once, Su Shi and Fo Yin played chess, but Su Shi also lost a game. So he had to "agree" to make a tofu dish for Fo Yin himself, which is the earliest Dongpo tofu.

However, Dongpo tofu, a dish, has undergone many changes in the process of spreading over time. Today's Dongpo tofu actually contains meat.
