Ruyi Hui Lu Dian

1) Introduction

It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne in Jinling, he got tired of eating the delicacies in the palace. One day, he left the palace incognito and saw a snack shop fried tofu fruit on the street. It was fragrant and golden in color, which greatly increased his appetite. He took out a piece of silver and asked the shopkeeper to give him a bowl of Ruyi Hui Lugan to enjoy. Seeing that he was a wealthy gentleman, the shopkeeper immediately put the dried Ruyi Hui Lu into a chicken soup pot, cooked it with a small amount of soybean sprouts and seasonings, and cooked it until the tofu was soft and tasty. Zhu Yuanzhang praised it repeatedly after eating it. From then on, fried tofu became popular and has been passed down to this day. Because Nanjing people often add bean sprouts when cooking, and its shape is very similar to the jade Ruyi in ancient jade, it is called Ruyi Hui Lugan.
