Tofu is the most common bean product, also called water tofu. According to legend, it was invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in Han Dynasty. The main production process is pulping, that is, soybean is made into soybean milk; The second is solidification, that is, soybean milk solidifies into a gel containing a lot of water under the action of heat and coagulant, which is tofu.
Tofu is the main raw material of vegetarian dishes in China. In the memory of our ancestors, it was initially unpalatable. After continuous transformation, it is gradually welcomed by people and is known as "plant meat". Tofu can be produced all year round, regardless of season, so in the off-season of vegetable production, the variety of dishes can be adjusted.
Tofu is divided into north and south tofu, and the main difference lies in the different materials of tofu. South tofu is made of gypsum, and the solidified tofu flower is tender because of its high water content, with a water content of about 90%. Beidoufu is usually made of brine or sour sauce. The solidified tofu flower has less water content, and its texture is older than that of south tofu, with a water content of about 85%. However, due to less water content, tofu has a stronger taste, a tougher texture and is easier to cook. Tofu is a traditional food in China, which is delicious and healthy.
Generally speaking, tofu is made of beans with high protein content, such as soybean, black bean and peanut bean. There are other tofu products such as mung bean tofu and acorn tofu.
