1. Classification of tofu
Tofu generally includes: internal fat tofu, southern tofu, northern tofu, old tofu
Internal fat tofu contains beta-gluconic acid. Lipid is a coagulant. The principle is that it decomposes into gluconic acid when heated in water to coagulate the protein. The process is simple, the texture is fine and white, and the shelf life is long.
Nan tofu is white in color and very tender.
Northern tofu is relatively yellow and older, and is also called hard tofu.
Southern tofu uses gypsum as the coagulant, while northern tofu uses salt brine as the coagulant. It is characterized by stronger hardness, elasticity and toughness than southern tofu, but lower water content than southern tofu.
Southern tofu, also known as gypsum tofu, has a relatively solid shape, which means it has stronger coagulation properties and is less soluble in water. Its taste is compared to northern tofu. The taste is better. The texture of northern tofu is rougher, but the southern tofu tastes smoother and tender.
