Chaoshan Farm Cuisine ---[Puning Fried Dried Beans and Stir-fried Luffa]

Overview

Puning dried tofu is one of the famous Chaoshan snacks. Puning Dried Tofu is made from soybeans as the main ingredient, mixed with auxiliary ingredients such as potato starch, gypsum, brine, and water. The production process is refining, removing slag, boiling pulp, preparing paste, testing powder, mixing paste powder, mixing to determine brine, wrapping, pressing, and cooking. Some are also colored with gardenia (commonly known as yellow branches) after cooking. The biggest feature of making Puning dried tofu is that it requires suitable water quality. To identify the quality of dried tofu, it depends on whether its outer skin is pliable and its inner meat is tender and smooth. Puning fried tofu is famous for its special flavor such as crispy skin, tender meat, refreshing taste, and never gets tired of eating it often. Many old overseas Chinese in Puning and folks working outside never forget to taste Puning dried tofu, a famous snack in their hometown, when they return to their hometown. Now is the time when loofah is in abundance. Fried loofah with Puning dried beans, it’s delicious!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 pieces of Puning dried tofu.

   

2. 2 Cut 1 large piece into 6 small pieces. I usually cut it into 4 small pieces, but today I want to fry loofah, so I cut it into small pieces.

   

3. 3 Put more oil in the pot, be sure to heat the pot before adding the dried beans. Prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

   

4. 4 Fry until golden and crispy on all sides, then drain the oil and remove from the pan.

   

5. 5 loofah, peeled and sliced into thin slices according to your preference. Shred the ginger.

   

6. 6 Save some of the oil from the fried tofu just now, add a small amount of oil, add loofah and shredded ginger, and stir-fry.

   

7. 7 Stir the minced meat with a small amount of cornstarch first to make it smoother, then add it. At this time, add some salt. When the meat is polished and touched with salt, it will become softer and water will come out. Then add water.

   

8. 8 After frying for a few times, add the dried beans. Cook until the flavor is absorbed and serve. Sprinkle some chopped green onion to garnish.
