Loach and bean curd

Loach drilling bean curd, also known as Diao Chan bean curd, Han Palace cangjiao and Yuhan mud, is a famous traditional dish with strong local flavor. It is made in many places except Western and southwest provinces in China.

The roasting method is to put the loach in a container, pour in water and a small amount of salt, feed it overnight, then pour the loach into a pot with tender tofu, heat it, let it drill randomly, and add some seasonings such as scallion, monosodium glutamate and ginger

. The bean curd is white, delicious and spicy, and the soup is greasy and fragrant.

History of dishes

The legend of loach drilling tofu was created by Xing Wenming, a fisherman in Zhoukou. He spat the loach in the water basin at home, put the lid on the pot, and cooked it with ginger and garlic and tofu.

When we uncovered the lid after cooking, we found that the small loach had gone into the tofu, but the tail was left outside. Later it was named "loach drilling tofu".

After several improvements by the chef, it became a famous dish at the banquet. The loach is usually placed in a clear water basin with egg white liquid to remove the dirt and wash it. The cold spareribs soup is poured into the casserole, and the whole piece of tender tofu and loach is put into the casserole. The loach is covered and stewed slowly for a while. The loach is forced to hide in the tofu by the hot gas. When the soup boils, it is completely scalded in the tofu, and then cooked with a variety of seasonings.

1. The loach should clear its intestines. Put Misgurnus anguillicaudatus into a clear water basin with flour, and replace it with water and flour several times, so that Misgurnus anguillicaudatus can spit out the dirt in its abdomen.

2. Choose Tender tofu. The water tofu just made is too hot. It's not good to soak in cold water for a long time and harden. When cutting tofu, the hard skin around tofu must be removed.

Stories and legends

Loach drilling tofu, also known as "Diao Chan tofu", is a tricky Dong Zhuo compared with loach. Loach is so anxious in hot soup that it has no place to hide, so it can't escape the fate of being cooked. Just like Wang Yunxian's Diao Chan's beauty trick. The origin of this allusion is beyond examination

.

"Loach drilling tofu" is said to have originated in the temple street of Zhoukou circle in Henan Province. It is said that Xing Wenming, a fisherman, makes a living by fishing for fish and shrimp. When he is fishing, he often catches some loach. After the larger loach is sold, the remaining small ones are ignored and have to take home to cook by themselves every time.

Once, in order to adjust the taste, he simply spat out the mud in the water basin at home, and bought some tofu, onion, ginger and other seasonings from the street. Because the loach was small, it was not easy to pick up, so he put it in the pot, covered the pot, and cooked it with ginger and garlic. When we uncovered the lid after cooking, we found that all the small loach had gone into the tofu, but the tail was left outside. This method soon spread among the local people, which was called "loach drilling tofu".
