There is a common and good dish in Jiangsu cuisine-fish head stewed tofu, which is made of white soup. The aroma is overflowing, the soup is as white as fresh milk, the tofu is smooth and tender, and the fish is fat and glutinous. It tastes neither oily nor greasy, and is suitable for all seasons. Due to local differences, my family likes the taste of braised pork, so I used the braised method to make fish head stewed tofu. Tofu and fish are paired with complementary nutrients.

When eaten together, with the help of vitamin D in fish, the linkage effect of nutrients can be exerted and the body's absorption rate of calcium can be increased many times.
