Anhui cuisine: In my impression of more than 20 years, it has always been oily, heavy in taste, salty and spicy, heavy in color, high in heat, love to braise, stew, stir-fry, and stuffy... and other characteristics. There are few steamed or clear dishes. For example, if you treat it at home, after eating, you will see that the remaining dishes are almost white, clear and light stir-fried dishes, and steamed and stewed dishes, which seem to be less popular. Because locals have long been accustomed to accepting the unique "heavy taste" of Anhui cuisine. <br /><br />I haven't tasted this soup for many years. This is a local breakfast, but it's not only suitable for morning drinks, you can drink it if you want. <br /><br />Kelp-eliminates phlegm, softens hard masses, relieves heat and promotes diuresis, relieves cough and asthma, removes fat and blood pressure, and resolves stagnation and cancer. <br />Qianzhang Pi is a bean product that is rich in nutrients. <br /><br />The spicy soup has both the fragrance of seaweed and beans, plus the delicacy of eggs. Very fresh, but Anhui cuisine has a strong taste, so it has a light spicy taste of white pepper and chili sauce. It tastes delicious and slightly spicy, with sufficient stamina, and will sweat in a short time. <br /><br />Kudzu powder was given by others and is also a specialty of Huizhou. Because I don't like to drink it directly, I usually use it as starch.

The emergence of stuffed tofu as a famous dish has a lot to do with Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. <br />Zhu Yuanzhang's family was very poor when he was young. One year, Fengyang suffered a major disaster. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents, brother and sister-in-law died one after another due to hunger. He became an orphan and became a monk in Huangjue Temple near his hometown. Once, Zhu Yuanzhang had not been able to get food for several days. He forced himself to move his weak body forward step by step. He finally moved to a restaurant. Just as he was about to open his mouth to beg, his body could no longer hold it, and he fell headlong at the door of the restaurant. The restaurant owner saw a young monk wearing a broken cassock lying at the door, so he quickly helped him up. The restaurant owner was very kind and quickly brought a bowl of water and poured it slowly into Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth. As his throat squirmed up and down, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes. The boss got up and brought the rice, and brought the restaurant's special dish-stuffed tofu. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the food, he wished he could even swallow the bowl. The wind swept through the clouds, and Zhu Yuanzhang ate everything he brought. This meal was too timely for Zhu Yuanzhang. After leaving the restaurant with thousands of gratitude, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was walking on the road, thought: How come this stuffed tofu is so delicious? There is probably nothing in the world that can taste like stuffed tofu. More than ten years later, Zhu Yuanzhang, who became emperor, could naturally eat delicacies from mountains and seas, but Fengyang's stuffed tofu was always unforgettable. Soon, he brought the chef who made stuffed tofu in his hometown to the imperial dining room of the palace. After the stuffed tofu became a tribute dish, his reputation became greater and greater. <br />Anhui Cuisine-Stuffed tofu Characteristics: It is shaped like a cherry, has a golden color, crispy outside and tender inside, sweet and sour.
