Eight treasure tofu
Tofu is mainly processed from soybeans and contains more protein and fat. When eaten frequently, it can clean the stomach and intestines, clear heat and moisten dryness, promote saliva and quench thirst, and replenish the middle and qi. It is very suitable for people with a hot constitution to regulate the body. Babao tofu is also very good for recuperating after illness, losing weight, and smoothing skin. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, famous chefs in Hangzhou studied and copied eight-treasure tofu according to medical records, and developed it into a famous Hangzhou dish with unique characteristics.
The eight-treasure tofu I made today is purely a copycat version, but it tastes very good and delicious.
