The raw materials of onion mixed with tofu are very simple, only onions and tofu, and to do it well, we must choose the right onions and tofu. First, let's look at tofu. At present, there are roughly three kinds of tofu on the market: north tofu, south tofu and inner fat tofu. So what's the difference between these three kinds of tofu? Which one is best for doing?
-1) Beidoufu, also known as "brine tofu", is tofu made with brine as coagulant. It's rough Beidoufu has high solid content and hard texture. Because of its rapid solidification, there will be many holes of different sizes on the surface from the appearance. It is precisely because of this "extensive" character that Beidou Fu is very popular in the north, which suits the character of northerners and their spleen and stomach. It often appears on the dining table, and there are many braised dishes and stews, such as "braised tofu" and "home-cooked tofu". Especially when stewed with fish, there is a saying that "a thousand tofu rolls and a thousand fish". Beidoufu and fish go through thousands of tumbling in the stew process. Tofu fully absorbs the taste of fish, which makes people feel that bean-flavored fish are mixed together, fresh and tender, with endless aftertaste.
-2) South tofu uses gypsum as coagulant, so it is also called "gypsum tofu". Southerners call solidified things "tofu" or "tofu flower", and they are usually directly used to cook other foods, such as "red oil tofu". The taste is smoother than that of Beitofu, but the calcium content is lower than that of Beitofu. South tofu is especially suitable for cooking some delicious dishes or soups because of its fresh and tender taste, such as "tofu stuffed with mushrooms", "duck blood tofu" and "tofu soup".
-3) Lactone tofu uses "gluconolactone" as coagulant, and its shelf life is relatively long. It will taste smoother and tender, but its calcium content is lower than that of south tofu and north tofu because of its high water content. Because lactone tofu is too smooth and tender, it often feels like chopsticks will break, so most of the ingredients are soft and tender, and the texture is similar, so as to ensure the taste and taste. Its common dishes are preserved egg tofu, crispy tofu, hot and sour soup and so on.
To sum up, the bean curd mixed with shallots is most suitable for matching with north bean curd, but the chewiness of north bean curd can best blend with the sweet and spicy feeling of shallots. It must be said that tofu has been selected, so it goes without saying that "onion" must be "onion". As the name implies, it is best to have more green leaves just coming down in spring, not onions wrapped in Shandong pancakes. ), it is not what we call a small chive decorated as a dish, because for a small turtle from a northerner, the small chive does not eat its head, it lacks the spicy taste that onions should have, and it feels warm and weak.

→ As mentioned above, shallots mixed with tofu are generally delicious for shallots in northern spring, which means that shallots are a little spicy, full of shallots, and more importantly, the more you eat, the sweeter you get.
