Cooking tips:Tofu must be boiled. It can remove some water from tofu and taste better. Put a little salt in the boiling. It can make the water in the tofu faster and make the tofu taste better at the same time. Fried pepper is more fragrant. No pepper powder can be used instead. Finally, a few drops of vinegar are necessary to improve the taste, which is commonly known as pot side vinegar. Choose Tender tofu instead of North tofu. Internal fat tofu is too broken. I choose white jade tough tofu. The taste is tender and not fragile. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
