Xishi tofu -- a famous traditional dish in Zhuji, Xishi's hometown

Introduction:

"Xishi tofu is a famous traditional dish in Zhuji. Almost every family will have such a dish at the new year's Eve banquet. Zhuji is the hometown of Xishi, one of the four beauties in ancient times. Whether it's house building, new year's festival, wedding, birthday, celebration, funeral, this dish often becomes the first dish on the table. It's also the common people's home cooking. Xishi tofu is commonly known as "meat tofu". It is said that during the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Xishi, a beautiful woman in the state of Yue, was skillful and good at cooking. The tofu soup made by her was smooth, fresh and delicious. Many people followed suit and called this dish "Xishi tofu". Later, in memory of Xishi, the villagers took this dish as the first dish at the banquet and followed it all the time. The ingredients used for this dish vary from family to family, but several of them are indispensable. Chicken soup (or high soup) is based on native chicken, including bean curd and winter bamboo shoots. Other ingredients include mushrooms, fungus, ham, carrots and so on. When I was a child, I usually put chicken gizzards and intestines in my home, so I use them today, because it's native chicken raised by my mother-in-law It can also be replaced by lean and fat pork. The final starch thickening is also more important. Thick starch affects the taste. It's too thin to form, so it can be added in small amounts. The traditional starch is usually sweet potato starch, and I use corn starch. The taste of this dish is full of layers. In the smooth and tender tofu, there are crispy diced winter bamboo shoots and chewy diced chicken gizzards. You can eat them alone or pour them on the rice. It is a favorite dish for all ages. "
