The greatest beauty of this dish is its unique shape, and the combination of animal protein of loach and plant protein of tofu makes it delicious and the soup is greasy.
Everything sounds reasonable. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus can't stand water and heat, so it will bump into the pot and naturally choose to get into the cold tofu. I looked it up on the Internet, many areas, such as eastern Hubei, Zhoukou, Jiangxi and so on. It is said that this is a local specialty and the practice is very different.
Can heated loach really drill tofu?
Affected by the water temperature, loach would rather jump out of the pot than dive into tofu.
This experiment is a bit embarrassing. This dish on the market, loach himself got into the tofu? People can't help but wonder.
Maybe this dish is really just a legend. It is difficult for loach to get into tofu by itself.
