Bean products are meat in vegetarian diet and can be eaten in many ways. In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Shaoceng, the author of Cold Swallows in Pingshan, wrote a poem called Tofu: "Beads are ground and wet, refined into nectar, and made into plain clothes. Worried that broken walls is better, this kind of sadness is very common in Bai Yunfei. "

Reading a rare tofu poem while eating a mouthful of tofu is really delicious and enriches the connotation of eating.

Of course, there are many delicious tofu practices, whether it is home-made tofu or spicy tofu, each has its own advantages. If you have a small fresh meat dish once in a while, it will be even better to make crab yellow tofu.

A special dish in Beijing-crab yellow tofu

Crab bean curd, also known as crab bean curd and crab bean curd pot, is a distinctive dish in Beijing cuisine. When it comes to crab roe tofu, everyone will definitely think that this dish is very expensive because crab roe is not easy to buy.

In fact, this dish was originally made of crab roe. Because September and 10 are the peak seasons for crabs, this dish takes crab roe and crab meat and cooks them with tofu.

But tofu poetry is an ordinary food, and ordinary people can't buy crab roe every day. Therefore, smart diners use salted egg yolk instead of crab yolk, and the raw materials are unchanged, but they can also make the same delicious and taste.

4 yuan of tender tofu can also eat "high feeling", and the umami does not lose crab yellow.

Crab yellow tofu is like this.

Crab-yolk bean curd brain can make us eat the same taste without crabs. Looking at this golden appearance, my heart is beating fast without moving chopsticks.

All ingredients:

Lactone tofu 1 box of salted egg yolk, 4 crab sticks, 4 peas 1 spoon of water and salt. Production steps:

1. Crush 4 salted egg yolks with a spoon and set aside.

Note: If salt mayonnaise is used, this step can be omitted. If you buy bagged salted egg yolk, you can bake it in the oven for 5 minutes in advance to bake out the oil of the egg yolk.

2. Cut the crab stick into small pieces for later use.

Note: If you happen to have crabs at home, you can use crab meat directly. If you don't have it on hand, you can only go to the supermarket to buy crab sticks instead. There is no mandatory requirement for this, as long as it can make the taste of crabs.

3. After the pot is hot, add a proper amount of cooking oil, then pour in the crushed salted egg yolk, stir-fry until it bubbles, and then put the crab sticks into it.

Note: be sure to fry the salted egg yolk until it bubbles, so that the salted egg yolk and cooking oil can be fully integrated. After adding crab sticks, the whole body will turn golden yellow.

4. After adding a proper amount of water, boil it with medium-high fire and then pour it into the cut built-in capital. After the soup is boiled again, turn to medium-low heat and cook for about 3 minutes.

Note: ① The amount of water must be less than that of tofu 1/2, and not more than 2/3 of the height of tofu, otherwise it will be difficult to end up later.

It is best not to use silk tofu or old tofu, because the taste of lactone tofu is very delicate, and it will feel very smooth and tender when cooking this dish.

5. When the tofu is cooked, prepare a bowl of water starch, pour the prepared water starch into the tofu, thicken it, and turn off the heat after the soup becomes thick.

Note: ① The method of water starch is very simple, that is, adding appropriate amount of water to corn starch and stirring evenly.

(2) Once tofu is thickened with starch, it will become sticky, so pay attention to the amount of water before pouring, otherwise there will be too much soup.
