When it comes to sesame tofu, Beijingers feel that they are not full, and they always feel that they are not full. When Lei Zi went out to eat, he saw hemp tofu, which was a must! Two more drinks. Hey, beautiful!

Ma tofu is a local specialty snack in old Beijing. Ma tofu is a kind of civilian food, which has the same properties as bean juice, and its raw materials and methods are the same. It is the leftover of mung bean vermicelli and starch. The fermented bean juice is boiled with strong fire, filtered with cloth, and the bean juice flows down. It is the hemp bean curd that controls the net moisture on the cloth. Because it has a special sour flavor like bean juice after fermentation, old Beijingers like bean juice, especially sesame tofu, just like Changsha people like fried stinky tofu.

In the past, ordinary people liked to eat sesame bean curd because of its low price, especially when the autumn wind blew and the weather became colder and colder. Peddlers, wheelbarrows or bearers are shouting bean juice-sesame tofu! This season is also when I want to eat sesame tofu. In autumn and winter, I even asked someone to bring it back from the noodle factory before the noodles went on sale and share it with my old friends who love food.

Ordinary people should fry sesame bean curd with sheep oil, yellow sauce, soybean sprouts or mung bean sprouts and potherb mustard thoroughly! The oil evaporated by steam is relished, which is grayish green, and then the fried red pepper oil is splashed on it to be red, green and yellow. The taste is mellow and strong, sour and salty, and has a unique flavor. Ma tofu is made of mung beans, which has the auxiliary functions of appetizing, helping digestion and clearing internal heat.

Ma tofu is a folk snack that appeals to both refined and popular tastes. Ordinary people like it, and so do the rich. Many people are addicted to it, and celebrities in the pear garden also like it. Ma, a famous Peking Opera master, is one of them. Mr. Ma is a Muslim, and one of the specialties of his Muslim chef is fried tofu. His family pays attention to frying sesame bean curd. You need to cut the tenderloin into diced meat, then add green beans, salted potherb and diced carrots. When frying, stir-fry the ingredients with sesame oil until they are 80% cooked and set aside for later use. Then stir-fry sesame bean curd with sesame oil and yellow sauce, stir-fry until fragrant, add auxiliary materials, stir-fry until thick, and pour hot Chili oil.

Mr. Ma and Mr. Mei Lanfang are good friends and know that Mrs. Mei likes fried sesame bean curd. Every winter, Mr. Ma often personally delivers fried sesame tofu to Mei's house, and often carries a white handkerchief. As soon as he entered the hospital, he shouted, "Sister-in-law, I brought you your favorite fried sesame bean curd." Mrs. Mei will also meet her in the hospital and say, "Brother San, please." The word "bother" is "measured", but it is not appropriate to say "spend money". It is more precious to give it to Mr. Ma personally.

Nowadays, fried sesame bean curd is not only loved by the older generation, but also by a large number of young people in Beijing. In order to highlight the characteristics of Beijing, many restaurants serve this dish all year round. When entertaining overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who have gone out from old Beijing, this dish is also essential and is well received by guests.

Fried sesame bean curd is an authentic home-cooked dish for old Beijingers. Although it is cheap, it is not easy to fry it well. First of all, you must choose raw materials, and you must use sesame tofu made by Dongzhimen Siyanjing Powder Room to be authentic. The ingredients pay attention to the use of pure sheep tail oil and "pheasant neck" tender leek, stir-fry diced mutton with sesame bean curd, stir-fry minced onion and ginger with yellow sauce for fragrance, and add sesame bean curd to stir fry. Subsequently, green beans, red pepper, tender bean sprouts and mustard seeds were not put into the reason for frying sesame tofu in turn, and the fire was added to make the stunner in the pot "vigorous". Then oil and water were added continuously, and sesame tofu and its partners were turned upside down with a little old black soy sauce until bubbles and honeycombs appeared on the surface of sesame tofu. There is a saying in old Beijing: "Stir-fry sesame tofu-gulp", which means that once sesame tofu is cooked, it will tell you "I am cooked!" It seems that hemp tofu has become human nature. Only when people cut the tender leek stalks like "pheasant neck", sprinkle the fried diced mutton out of the pot, and then pour a spoonful of red and bright spicy oil can they show the "heroic nature" of fried sesame tofu. ?

Ma tofu is the first choice for wine putty.
