tofu box
Tofu boxes are also a very distinctive Boshan dish with a unique shape. Tofu boxes have always used "vegetarian vegetables and meat cooking" as a guise to attract customers. This is because, although it can be said that anything can be put in the "box", for more than a hundred years, it has been customary to use pork and sea rice as the main fillings, and then choose fungus, green cabbage heart, Olay slices, onions, ginger, garlic and other vegetables., coupled with seasonings, it is definitely delicious and nutritious. Let's make it myself and try it. This is also the first time we have made it!
