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 not the same, so there is no need to compare them. People in every place have different eating habits and tastes. Maybe 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 eat them often 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 tofu is almost the same; Shanghe Shaoliao salty soup, brine salty soup; The original old tofu is relatively light; Xiajin old tofu is boiled with materials such as pepper, thickened with starch, and fried with black cottonseed oil and pepper; The marinade made of Gaotang old tofu is mainly made of Chinese herbal medicines and aniseed, so it can be seen that the clear soup with rich flavor is accompanied by fried peppers such as old cotton oil and 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 think about day and night. Speaking of hometown people in Texas, do you miss the old tofu in your hometown?
Xiaohong really didn't eat less fire in Song Lou when she was a child. I remember that at that time, the fires were all strung together with hemp rope one by one, 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 other places' fires and sesame cakes. After baking, the Song Lou fire is long and drum, while Pete is thin and brittle, and it will break as soon as it falls to the ground. According to the master craftsman, each Song building must be folded into six layers when it is burned, then each layer must be coated with sesame oil, and then it will be fried and baked to form a lantern shape. The layers are as thin as paper, crisp and delicious, and each piece is almost only seven dollars.
Now I have grown up, because I work in other places, and I have never eaten the fire in the Song House again. I wonder if anyone will give my child a birthday or something.
