, with less water, it will be beautiful when the heat is sufficient. Get up and make a bowl every day, and you will be full." This is the cooking method of Dongpo Pork developed by Su Dongpo. Su Dongpo later served as the governor of Hangzhou and built Su Di.

I believe everyone knows that Su Dongpo invented Dongpo Pork. In fact, Su Dongpo’s contribution to food is far from that simple.
It is said that Su Dongpo's favorite food in his life was fish, and he liked to cook it by himself. During this period, he also developed various methods of cooking fish. The steps of Su Dongpo cooking carp were recorded in "Yumanzi".

Foyin was a monk, so he only ate vegetarian food.
Su Shi and Foyin competed in chess, but Su Shi also made a mistake and lost the game.
So he had no choice but to admit defeat and personally cooked a tofu dish for Foyin. This was the earliest Dongpo Tofu.
