Almost every county and city in Texas has old tofu, but the famous ones are Pingyuan old tofu and Xiajin old tofu. Whether in the plains, in summer or in other parts of Texas, most people eat old tofu for breakfast when they go out in the morning. Perhaps many foreigners have never eaten the original old tofu, and some people will compare it with Shanghe old tofu and Gaotang old tofu. In fact, the two are different, so there is no need to compare them. People in every place have different eating habits and tastes. Perhaps many foreigners can't get used to the old tofu in the plains and Xiajin, but the locals like it very much. The first thing that local specialty food snacks should satisfy is that local people like to eat them and often eat them to meet the taste needs of most people, just like Pingyuan and Xiajin old tofu.
In fact, the core of old tofu is marinade, and the method of making tofu is almost the same; The salty soup on the river is less, and the salty soup is more brine; The original old tofu is relatively light; Xiajin old tofu is made of pepper and other materials, with starch to make the soup thick, with black cottonseed oil and fried pepper; The pot-stewed taste of Gaotang old tofu is mainly made of Chinese herbal medicine and star anise, which shows that the clear soup with rich flavor is matched with old cotton oil and fried peppers like Xiajin. Each of the above has its own advantages. As for the southern ones, if you haven't eaten them, you won't evaluate and compare them. In fact, many Texans like to drink old tofu, which is a delicious snack that many people who work hard outside miss day and night. Speaking of hometown people in Texas, do you miss the old tofu in your hometown?
When Xiaohong was a child, she really ate fire in Song Lou. I remember that at that time, the fires were all strung together with hemp rope, and then she led her to visit relatives. I remember there should be two other names called "lantern fire" and "kite fire", which are very different from fires and sesame cakes in other places. After baking, the Song Lou fire is long and drum, while Pete is thin and brittle, which will break when he falls to the ground. According to the master craftsman, every Song building must be folded into six layers when it is burned, and then each layer must be coated with sesame oil, and then baked and unfolded into a lantern shape. Each layer is as thin as paper, crisp and delicious, and each layer is almost only $7.
Now that I'm grown up, I've never eaten the fire in the Song House again because I work in other places. I wonder if anyone will give my child a birthday or something.
