Dried tofu, which northerners call tofu skin, is an auxiliary food extended from tofu. It's completely different from the tofu skin in the south. The biggest difference is that the former can be eaten "raw" or "cooked". The best way to identify them is the thickness first, and the thin ones must belong to the former, followed by the ready-to-eat ones. It is the most common food that people in Northeast China can't finish all year round.
Ingredients: dried bean curd, cooking oil, dried pepper, onion, garlic, salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil, aged vinegar, soy sauce, salt, carrot, onion and edible alkali.
Production process:
First, go to the market to buy some dried tofu, cut it into filaments, cook it, then pour it into boiling water, blanch it for 2-3 minutes, take it out, and immediately take a bath in cold water. When the water inside is fully squeezed out, put it in a bowl for later use. At the same time, add a little edible alkali, so that the stewed taste will be softer and more palatable.
In addition, to prepare 1 empty bowl, first put a proper amount of dried peppers, chopped green onion and minced garlic into the bowl, then pour hot oil until it smokes, add a little soy sauce, aged vinegar, sesame oil, and a little salt and monosodium glutamate to taste, and then fully stir it evenly, and set it aside for use, and the delicious bowl juice will be ready.
Cut some shredded carrots, onions and coriander (try to cut it as thin as possible, which is not only easy to taste, but also more convenient to eat). The ratio of the above three components is 1: 1: 1. After cutting them all, sprinkle them evenly into the pre-fried dried tofu shreds, and spread a layer of each ingredient.
Finally, pour the prepared bowl juice into the bowl and stir it evenly with chopsticks. The dried bean curd is spicy, sour, sweet, crisp and refreshing. It is not only simple and nutritious, but also appetizing. When you have a bad appetite, just eat two or three mouthfuls before meals, which will make people have an appetite.
Tips:
Putting onions and carrots together can not only play the role of color matching, but also have a crisp and sweet taste. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a perfect match with dried tofu. After fully absorbing the taste of the bowl juice, it tastes delicious, which is simply one of the cold dishes that Northeasters will have at home.
