Preserved egg tofu is a famous dish of the Han nationality, one of the common home-cooked dishes and cold dishes in various parts of China. It is a delicious dish made from fatty tofu, mustard mustard, preserved eggs, sesame oil, coriander and other raw materials. It is simple to make, rich in nutrients, clears away heat and relieves fire, and is rich in various nutrients needed by the human body. When it comes to the origin of this dish, there is a beautiful legend, which is said to be related to Guan Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, after Liu Bei borrowed troops from Soochow, he led his troops to attack Xichuan, leaving Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. This summer, the weather was very hot, and the soldiers practiced martial arts in the sun, and they were all covered in sweat. Over time, many soldiers developed internal fire, dry and hard stools, red and yellow urine, and dry mouth and tongue. Guan Yu was very anxious. One day, Guan Yu was alone in his study, meditating. Unexpectedly, the sun was already rising, and his subordinates brought food, including braised soybeans. Guan Yu immediately thought of tofu. Medical books said that gypsum is cool in nature and can dispel fire. He might as well give it a try. Guan Yu ordered the sergeants to soak the beans, boil the paste, and bake the plaster with his own hands. Because the plaster was too light, the tofu was tender and could not be fried. The soldiers could only eat it mixed with salt. Coincidentally, this kind of tofu was like a good medicine. The soldiers ate it and their illnesses gradually recovered. Later, some sergeants from Jiangling mixed preserved eggs from their hometown into soft tofu and added condiments. It was not only delicious, but also heat-clearing and detoxifying, and it became a famous dish that has been passed down to this day.
