Brief introduction to the origin of tofu pudding

During the Three Kingdoms period, because there was a Fushun salt well with the most salt in Jinchuan area (now Fushun County) at that time, and the climatic conditions and geographical environment suitable for soybean growth, tofu spread to Fushun and was very popular. Since then, Fushun has become the economic and cultural center of Zigong for almost a long time because of the developed salt industry, and the demand for tofu food has naturally increased.

During the Republic of China, one day, a businessman who came to Fushun to sell salt came to the famous Zhu restaurant. Tired of waiting, he ran to the kitchen and urged the chef to bring the fried tofu he ordered to the table quickly. When he saw the unformed tofu steaming in the pot, he asked the owner of Zhu restaurant to sell it to him because he had no time to wait any longer.

Of course, it can't be fried without sufficient solidification, so the old man asked the cook to prepare Chili water for the guests to dip in. But not only did he not feel bad, on the contrary, he felt better than fried old tofu. Inspired by this, the old man repeatedly studied the freshness of tofu pudding, the formula of dipping in water and the most suitable rice for tofu pudding.
