Nutritious oriental cheese, a veritable healthy food
"Tofu wrapped in golden silk, water in the middle of the rock, Baofang Palace moved, fungus covered the head." Folk songs describing curd milk in ancient times were vivid and vivid.
Curd milk, a kind of fermented soybean food unique to China, is a traditional folk food that has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and is unique among the fermented foods in the world, known as "Oriental Cheese".
People who do not understand will say that cheese milk is rich in flavor, mellow in taste, rich in protein, calcium and vitamins, and the taste of curd milk is indescribable, and it has undergone "long hair mold", how can it be compared with cheese?
In fact, "Oriental cheese" is not a waste of time. This is a soybean product made of soybeans as raw materials, after a variety of microbial fermentation, protein content is very rich, comparable to animal foods, vitamin B1, niacin, calcium, iron, zinc content is also higher than the general food, and does not contain cholesterol, curd can be said to be a veritable health food.
In the blue, red and white curd rivers and lakes, the cold and proud Hong Kong-style curd milk
China is vast and has different eating habits, and the gang battle for food also appears in the rivers and lakes of tofu milk.
Curd milk is divided into three categories: blue, red and white. White curd milk is represented by Guilin curd milk, which has a delicious and strange taste and enhances appetite.
Red curd milk is the most traditional, the surface is natural red, the taste is mellow, the flavor is unique, and it is suitable for accompanying meals and cooking seasoning.
Green curd milk is a real stinky curd milk, represented by the century-old beijing store "Wang Zhihe", which "smells and eats fragrant".
In the fiercely competitive curd world, there is an alternative "Liao XiaoJi", which only exists in Hong Kong as a representative of Hong Kong-style curd, because almost no one knows it out of Hong Kong. Someone in Zhihu asked, "What are the delicious tofu milks?" Liao Xiaoji can't even find his name in the well-informed zhihu, which shows how low-key it is, but in the minds of Hong Kong people, this piece of curd milk is the feeling that knows life best.
More than a hundred years of Liao Xiaoji, a luxury in curd milk
Cai Lan, who has never said anything against his heart about food, believes that "in Hong Kong, the famous "Liao Xiao Ji" is much higher than the average level. ”
Hong Kong people call male twins "Xiao Tsai", the word 孖 reads mā, and Liao Xiao ji was created by the twin brothers surnamed Liao.
In 1905, the brothers surnamed Liao escaped the war, came to Hong Kong from Zhaoqing, opened a shop in Jordan, and have been passed down to the third generation, which is the collective memory of several generations of Hong Kong people.
Although it is a simple curd milk, liao xiaoji's price is unambiguous. Bottled curd is divided into three kinds of large, medium and small, large bottle 450g price of 98 Hong Kong dollars, medium bottle 300g price of 40 Hong Kong dollars, a small bottle of 150g price is also 30, is several times the ordinary curd milk.
In foreign countries, Lao Gan Ma is a luxury in hot sauce, and in China, Liao Xiaoji is a luxury in curd milk.
The years have changed, and the taste of the small shop has not changed
Since he has the courage to sell curd milk at the price of luxury goods, Liao Xiaoji must have something superior.
Liao Xiaoji still has a sauce garden and bean factory, for a hundred years adhere to the ancient method of production, stone grinding beans to make tofu, soy milk is smooth and rich, ancient pig iron wok boiled soy milk, especially see the flavor.
Acid drop water, pressurized water, fermentation, soaked in salt wine for 180 days, the process is meticulous, in order to taste soft, a bottle of curd milk sealed fermentation at least half a year before it can be sold. It is this kind of persistence and perseverance that has made Hong Kong people never abandon Liao Xiaoji for a hundred years.
Liao Xiao remembered that the taste of chili curd milk was the most absolute, salty and sharp, and when you opened a can, you could smell the warm and unrestrained taste on a street. The years have changed, Liao Xiaoji not only inherits the old taste of his father,but also guards the century-old charm of the old store, and today it is still just a humble small store, the store decoration has been the same for decades, perhaps for Liao Xiaoji, in addition to the quality and flavor of curd, other things are not important.
Cooking fasting, fishing rice, fishing noodles, making hot pot soup base, seasoning with curd stir-fry, is common for Hong Kong people, and they have also developed a variety of alternative ways to eat curd, smeared on toast (toast), steamed chicken with curd milk, scrambled eggs, and even curd cheesecake, and suddenly felt that a small piece of curd milk can also be on the elegant hall.
If you want to find a different handwritten letter in Hong Kong, Liao Xiaoji must be a precious and special one. Although it is a bottle of curd milk, it is a scarce luxury, although it is a luxury, but it is the kind that understands the feelings of life the most, and the person who receives this handwritten letter will definitely understand this good intention.
