Tofu is the main raw material of vegetarian dishes in China. In the memory of our ancestors, it was initially unpalatable. After continuous transformation, it is gradually welcomed by people and is known as "plant meat". Tofu can be produced all year round, regardless of season, so in the off-season of vegetable production, the variety of dishes can be adjusted.

Tofu is divided into north and south tofu, and the main difference lies in the different materials of tofu. South tofu is made of gypsum, and the solidified tofu flower is tender because of its high water content, with a water content of about 90%. Beidoufu is usually made of brine or sour sauce. The solidified tofu flower has less water content, and its texture is older than that of south tofu, with a water content of about 85%. However, due to less water content, tofu has a stronger taste, a tougher texture and is easier to cook. Tofu is a traditional food in China, which is delicious and healthy.
