origin
Siwen tofu was invented by Yangzhou monk Siwen during Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. Siwen tofu is related to Emperor Qianlong. According to legend, when Ganlong visited Tianning Temple in the south, the abbot Si Wen offered tofu soup and beet porridge many times. After Gan Long ate it, he was full of praise, and told the imperial chef eunuch to write down the practice and do it after returning to the palace. The practice of Siwen tofu spread like wildfire, and people followed suit.
When making Siwen tofu, not only the materials are strict, but also the chef's knife work is very fine. Mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, ham, chicken breast and other ingredients need to be cut into hair-thick silk.
