Gourmet Su Shi tasted tofu.

Su Shi was not only a great writer, but also a gourmet. His exploration of food was amazing. Su Shi once tasted dishes such as "Dongpo elbows", "Dongpo tofu", "Dongpo jade grits", "Dongpo legs", "Dongpo sprouts", "Dongpo black carp", "Dongpo cakes", "Dongpo crisps" and "Dongpo crisps". Beancurd", "Dongpo Pork" and so on. So he had tasted tofu.

The tofu Su Shi tasted was made from high-quality soybeans. After multiple processes, the soy milk was ground and evenly cooked. The soy milk was poured into mineral salt water such as gypsum or seaweed to solidify, and finally cut into cubes. Fresh and fluffy. This kind of tofu has a strong bean flavor, because the soybeans have been ground and cooked many times, making the bean flavor more intense. This kind of tofu has a tender texture. The addition of mineral brine during the production process and cutting into cubes can make the tofu more flexible, making it feel very smooth and tender.

The reason why Su Shi is a gourmet:

Su Shi is a phenomenal literati in the history of our country. He can be said to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and has made great achievements in each. In addition to extraordinary achievements in literary and artistic fields such as literature, poetry, poetry, calligraphy, and painting, he has also made extraordinary achievements in food production, clothing design and other fields. The delicacies include the well-known Dongpo soup, Dongpo meat, Dongpo elbow, Dongpo tofu, Dongpo fish, etc., and the clothes include Dongpo hat, etc. These inventions all reflect Su Shi's intelligence.

Su Shi’s love for food was not entirely forced to study food because of poverty, as people say, but it came from his love for food. It’s just that the cuisine studied by Su Shi during this period can be expressed in today’s terms: often high-end ingredients only require simple cooking. At this time, Su Shi did not think about the sufferings of the people, but only studied food for the sake of food. This kind of "luxury" life allowed Su Shi to act as he pleased when he was in good times, but it also paved the way for his poverty when he was down.
