Where does the mirror box tofu come from?
Mirror box tofu was originally created by Liu Junying, a famous chef of Wuxi Yingbinlou Restaurant, and cooked with Wuxi specialty "small box" tofu. In the 1940s, Liu Junying, the chef of Yingbinlou Restaurant, improved the tofu with meat stuffing, changed the tofu into a small box and added shrimp to the meat stuffing. Cooked bean curd brain stuffing is full, beautiful, delicate and tender, so it is called "meat is gold, shrimp is jade, and gold is inlaid with white jade box". Because the shape of tofu block is like a mirror box for women to comb, it is named mirror box tofu. This dish is a famous dish in Wuxi, which appeals to both refined and popular tastes.
