Hometown tofu
Hometown tofu is a home-cooked dish in Hunan. In the past, people who traveled to the docks didn't have much money, so they used tofu, added minced meat, and peppers to make rice dishes. You can eat several bowls of rice for one dish, hehe. Tofu is rich in nutrients and can meet the body's needs for protein. Hometown tofu is a delicious dish. The little girl at home rarely eats spicy dishes, but she likes this dish very much and eats all the tofu, minced meat, and bamboo shoots inside, haha.
