Tofu, as a daily delicacy, is common in all seasons. My grandmother likes cooking with tofu very much, because tofu has high nutritional value, low price and is very delicious.
In summer, when the weather is sultry, many people will have bad appetite and loss of appetite. At this time, we can cook more delicious tofu. Cooked tofu has the function of harmonizing the stomach. A delicious and smooth tofu dish has a very direct impact on improving our diet.

However, because there are more purines in tofu, patients with gout due to abnormal purine metabolism should eat less tofu.
The recipe of garlic-flavored tofu shared today is actually one of my grandmother's home-cooked recipes. The tofu made is very smooth and tender, and it is not easy to fry, and it tastes particularly delicious. When I was a child, I lived with my grandmother. She often cooked this dish for me. It can be said that I grew up eating tofu.
To make this dish, we only need to prepare: 2 pieces of tofu, 3-4 garlic cloves, a proper amount of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of light salt.
First, clean the tender tofu we bought, put it in a cooking pot, add water to the tofu, and bring it to a boil.
Tofu doesn't need to be boiled for a long time. It will be picked up just after boiling. Be careful not to break it. Take it out and soak it in cold water immediately. The tofu treated in this way will be twice as tender as the untreated tofu.
Soak the tofu for 15 minutes, then take it out and cut it into small pieces for later use.
add a proper amount of vegetable oil to the pot, then add garlic cloves and saute until fragrant, then add tofu and fry slowly over low heat.
when frying, turn over carefully, fry both sides until golden brown, and then add thin salt soy sauce and oyster sauce to taste. You can add some salt if it is not salty enough.
a plate of crispy fried tofu with garlic flavor is ready. It's very simple to cook and special to eat. If you have no appetite in summer, it is very suitable to eat it.
