Before cooking, we can boil the water in the pot, add a spoonful of salt, blanch the cut tofu, and then gently take it out for a bath.
In this way, the water in the tofu will come out, and the salt will solidify the protein, so that the tofu will not be easily broken during the burning process.

3 Hotpot Fried
Before cooking, heat the pan, slide it with cold oil and add a little oil to heat it. When the oil temperature is slightly higher, fry the cut tofu in the pot for 1~2 minutes, and take it out after both sides solidify and harden. However, the amount of oil should be less, so it should be fried rather than fried, and the oil intake should be minimized.
Use the spoon carefully.
In the process of cooking, it is best not to use a spoon, but to push the tofu back gently with a spatula to mix it evenly with the ingredients, not a spatula.
Next, I'll teach you how to make tofu that is more delicious than stew! ! !
