Stewed beef with wild lotus root

Hubei is a famous land of fish and rice. Its dietary customs are characterized by: first, rice and fish are the main ingredients; second, it likes to eat omnivorous foods; third, it has a rich flavor; and fourth, it is diverse in tastes. <br /><br />Food customs can be roughly divided into four customs areas: eastern Hubei, western Hubei, southwestern Hubei, and Hui people. <br /><br />The Hui people are the most populous ethnic minority in Hubei Province, and Wuhan is also one of the places where they live more intensively. For a long time, its diet and living habits have been influenced by Han culture (except for taboos), but it still has its own national characteristics. <br /><br />The biggest feature of Hui ethnic customs is that dietary taboos run through all dietary activities. <br /><br />This wild lotus root stewed beef is one of the soups with the most Hui customs. <br /><br />Home lotus root simmer soup is a sweet aroma, while wild lotus root simmer soup is a mellow aroma...<br /><br /> The Horqin beef breast meat used in this soup has many facial lines and thick and tender meat, making it most suitable for clear stewing. The stewed beef is crispy and tender, fat but not greasy. <br /><br />Wild lotus root is suitable for simmering soup with meat. It will be 100% rotten, and so will the lotus root branches. <br /><br />Real wild lotus roots are much thinner and longer than domestic lotus roots, and one section can grow to one or two feet long. Generally, there are only three sections, lotus root tip, straight lotus root and lotus root tip, which grow in the dark mud of the wild lake. It's just not usually seen much anymore. <br /><br />The taste of wild lotus root is also very characteristic. Not only is it not sweet, but it is also slightly astringent. Like domestic lotus root, it can be eaten raw, but there is a lot of lotus root silk inside.

Tofu is as white as jade, soft, tender, refreshing and palatable. It is the main raw material of my country's vegetarian dishes and has always been popular among people. Dongpo tofu is similar to pork knuckle. It is tender in quality and bright in color, fresh in aroma and mellow in taste. <br />Su Dongpo attaches great importance to diet and health preservation, especially vegetarian health preservation. After he pioneered the vegetarian (vegetarian food) dish "Dongpo Tofu", this innovative dish quickly spread in Huangzhou. Soon after, he was transferred to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where his "Dongpo Tofu" was widely circulated.
