History of dishes

It is said that in the past, there was a fisherman named Xing Wenming who lived in the temple street of Zhoukou circle. In the old days, he used to catch fish and shrimp for a living, but when he was fishing, he often caught some loach. After the bigger loach was sold, the rest of the small loach was ignored, so he had to take it home to cook for himself every time. Once, in order to adjust the taste and turn over the pattern, he simply spat up the mud in the water basin at home, and bought some tofu, onion, ginger and other seasonings from the street. When the loach was not easy to pick up, he put it in the pot, covered it with the pot, and cooked it with ginger and garlic. When I uncovered the lid after cooking, I found that all the little loach had gone into the tofu, but the fish tail was left outside, which was very unique and interesting. This method soon spread among the local people, which was called "loach drilling tofu".

Ingredients needed

Loach half a catty, water for 2-3 days (remember to change water twice a day), let the loach empty intestines. Loach choose slender as good (index finger length), that kind of fat artificial breeding can't want.

A kilo of fresh tofu. Soak the whole piece in cold water.

2. Fire (with the minimum fire), let the water slowly hot, and tender tofu is cold, loach will drill into tofu, after loach drill into tofu or be scalded to death, add cooked oil, ginger, garlic (like spicy add pepper), salt.

Warm tips

1. Misgurnus anguillicaudatus did not drill into tofu even if it failed, there should be two main reasons for failure: first, the fire is big, the Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was scalded to death before drilling into tofu;

2. The tofu is not tender enough for Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. Water tofu (Note: it's not bean curd) is too hot to make. It's easy to harden after soaking in cold water for a long time. It's really hard to grasp.

3. When cutting tofu, the hard skin around tofu must be removed.

What to eat

Both loach and bean curd have high nutritional value. According to the analysis of nutritionists, loach contains more protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus and vitamins than ordinary fish.
