Bagong Mountain Tofu

Bagong Mountain Tofu
Bagong Mountain Tofu originated from eight ministers of the ruling and opposition who were dismissed here in the Western Han Dynasty, including Liu An, King of Huainan, who originally intended to refine tofu through alchemy. It is also named for its tender quality and delicious taste. Also, because it is refined from Bagong Mountain Spring Water, the finished product is crystal clear, white like jade board, tender like condensed fat, fine, refreshing and smooth, without the taste of yellow pulp and water, and without breaking into pieces. Therefore, it is famous throughout ancient and modern times and has a reputation for a long time. Bagongshan tofu is also known as Four Seasons Tofu. It can be made all year round, hence the name.

It is made with Bagongshan tofu after frying and burning. The finished vegetables are golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and delicious in taste.
Here, I use local tofu according to the method of cooking Bagongshan tofu. The ingredients I choose are authentic mountain products brought from my hometown, which are not completely copycat, but have a very good taste and taste.
