Braised Chiba Tofu

Braised Chiba Tofu
I don't know if you like Thousand Leaf Tofu. I just discovered this tofu this year. Many supermarkets don't have it. Currently, I can only buy it at Wuhan Qunguang Supermarket. It tastes very good. I recommend it.
Maybe you have eaten Thousand Leaf Tofu in restaurants outside, but the Thousand Leaf Tofu made outside does not reflect the delicacy of Thousand Leaf Tofu at all. Why? Because after practice, Zhuzhu found that Thousand Leaf Tofu generally takes about 20 minutes to fully taste it. However, in restaurants outside, you usually just stir fry it casually. How can you feel the deliciousness of Thousand Leaf Tofu?
I have made several kinds of thousand-page tofu, including steamed rice, braised rice and cold salad. At present, I feel that the braised rice tastes the best. Let's make the braised rice today!
