Su Shi was a famous literati and poet in history, but he was also a famous foodie in history. The most famous one is Dongpo Pork. But in addition to Dongpo meat, there are also Dongpo fish, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo cake, etc. These are all things created by later generations inspired by this foodie, or they were created by Su Dongpo himself. .

First of all, let us introduce the most classic Dongpo Pork, also known as Rolled Pork. When Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, he felt that the food there was not to his taste, so he started to create his own food. .

This method is not simple. You must first cut the pork belly into pieces, then tie the pork belly into large pieces. Put the green onions and ginger in a small pot, spread the pork belly on top, then add sugar and soy sauce. Arrange onion knots on top and cover the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then put it in a steamer and steam over high heat for thirty minutes. This is how Dongpo Pork is generally made, but different regions have different ways of doing it.

This Su Dongpo likes to eat meat, which is true, but he also pays attention to the health and balance of his diet. So he created Dongpo Tofu, Dongpo Pancakes, etc. The preparation of Dongpo Tofu is not difficult. Use a knife to cut the tofu into long strips, sprinkle some salt and flour, remove from the oil pan, drain and set aside.

Then replace with new oil, wait until the oil temperature matures, add onion, ginger, cooking wine, etc., and then add tofu. Add a tablespoon less water, bring to a boil over high heat, and wait until the soup thickens before serving. The making of Dongpo Cake is more complicated, so I won’t describe it here. Such a scholar and poet, after being demoted, turned into a foodie. Sure enough, eating is the foundation of people's livelihood.
