Every time I eat hot pot outside, in addition to various meats and vegetables, how can I miss out on the rich and delicious bean curd sticks? Especially the kind of yuba that has been cooked in a hot pot for a long time, and the yuba is soft and delicious in the mouth.

Bean curd

The bean curd in hot pot restaurants is super delicious. I don’t know why when I make hot pot at home and buy yuba, it always turns out hard no matter how long I cook it. Later, I asked a chef working in a hot pot restaurant privately, and he said that the lighter the color of yuba, the higher its nutritional value, and it is particularly delicious when cooked in hot pot.

Yuba

After checking Baidu, I found that borax is added to the yuba that will not rot after being cooked for a long time. Borax can make the yuba more chewy and not easy to break. If you eat too much, Not good for your health.

Bean curd

I also bought a kind of bean curd at the vegetable market. The texture is very soft, and it is also eaten in hot pot. Unexpectedly, it turned rotten as soon as it was cooked, almost breaking into pieces. A friend said that starch is added to it. Adding starch can reduce the production cost of yuba. Although it will not cause any harm to the body, it does not taste good in the mouth. It really disheartened me.

Bean curd stick

Real good bean curd stick has a bean-like flavor, is easy to break, has a crisp sound, is light yellow and shiny, and can be torn into filaments after soaking. This is the case with the yuba I eat in hot pot restaurants. It doesn't take long to cook and becomes soft. Soft and rotten don't mean the same thing. The texture in your mouth is completely different.

If you want to make hot pot directly and want to buy yuba, you must choose carefully. The bottom of the pot is one aspect, but the ingredients are also the finishing touch.
