Pan-fried fried tofu

Huizhou Mao Tofu (also known as Tiger Skin Hair Tofu, Huizhou Mold Tofu) is a unique snack and traditional famous dish in Huizhou. For thousands of years, there have been several proverbs circulating in the local area: "The most strange thing in Huizhou is tofu with long hair, the best dish" and "Huizhou hair tofu, you won't spit out even if you slap it."

Maybe you may think: Tofu has long hair, and it is also the kind of thin and long white hair (white mycelium), can it still be eaten? In fact, when making tofu, the tofu is usually soaked in water, then taken out and drained, then sprinkled with some salt on the tofu, and then covered with a thick cloth; placed in a cool and dry place, and after a few days, white hairs will grow on the tofu. The vegetable protein contained in tofu will be converted into a large amount of tyrosine (a kind of amino acid) and base nitrogen when fermented, so as long as the "hairy tofu" is fried in a frying pan, the taste will be better!
