Introduction:

"In Northern Fujian, every family can make tofu balls. It's a local Tujia dish. I'm from a snack to a big one. Now, with the influence of foreign food culture, it's hard to find a local restaurant that can manage local specialties, let alone eat them. Is this a kind of "cup set"? Tofu balls, see the name, you know it's made of tofu. Practice is generally with tofu, minced pork, sweet potato powder knead together to make balls steamed. This is also my father's favorite food. My family usually doesn't do it. I only do it at some family banquets on holidays. It's used for entertaining relatives and friends. Because it's easy to cook, it can be used as soup and staple food, with a different flavor. I remember when I was a child, when the Chinese new year was approaching, my family would make two big boxes of bean curd, and then fried bean curd and tofu balls. My mother made a lot of them every time, steamed and packed them in a pot. My brother and I couldn't wait to cook soup every time, so we "stole" them.. There are many ingredients for soup. According to people's preferences, you can put some vegetables and mushrooms to make tofu balls with farmhouse flavor. You can also put some seafood such as clam, razor clam and oyster to make tofu balls with seafood. You can use all the ingredients you can think of.. It's so changeable. After the "van yaby", the temperature really made a big turn. In the air-conditioned room that used to blow all day and all night, even the fan was not used these two days. These two days, the skin is also slightly tight, the weather began to become dry. In autumn, eating more tofu can not only clear away heat, moisten dryness, generate fluid and quench thirst, but also replenish qi, clean intestines and stomach, with beauty effect.
