Ma tofu is a specialty of Beijing and is not found anywhere else. This item comes from the powder room in Jiujing. The flour room used to be a place where flour starch was produced. The beans were ground on a stone mill, and water was added as they were ground. At the same time, the beans were divided into three types. The thinnest one becomes soy milk, which is authentic and is used to make starch; the thinnest one becomes juice, which is bean juice; the middle layer of thick and stagnant dark green flour paste is put in a cloth bag, heated and boiled, filtered to remove the water. It is sesame tofu.
The bean curd and bean juice have the same attribute, and are prepared from the same raw materials and methods of various bean curds (20 pieces). They are leftovers for manufacturing mung bean vermicelli and starch. The fermented bean juice is burned open, and the bean juice flows down after filtering with cloth. The bean juice is the bean curd with edge control. Because after fermentation, it has a special sour flavor like bean juice. Old Beijingers like bean juice, but also like to eat hemp tofu, just like Shaoxing people like to eat fried stinky tofu.
