What are the patterns of traditional bean products in China?

The most familiar traditional bean product is tofu. Don't underestimate that it is just an ordinary piece of tofu. There are many classifications according to the different production techniques and the amount of water, such as north and south tofu.

North tofu, also known as brine tofu, is very tender and can be used for steaming tofu or cooking. South tofu, on the other hand, is older and can be more suitable for stewing.

After dehydration and drying, tofu can be made into tofu skin and dried tofu, which has a strong flavor and will be chewy. On the basis of north tofu, you can add more brine to make a smooth tofu brain, which is delicious with shallots and various sauces.

Soymilk is also a very classic bean product. Since ancient times, many people have the habit of drinking soybean milk every day. Choose your favorite beans, such as soybeans, black beans, etc., and put them directly into the soymilk machine and add appropriate amount of water to make thick soymilk. If you put less water when beating soybean milk, and then take away the oil skin on the surface after cooking, you can make yuba.
