When it comes to this delicacy, Kang Huabin, who grew up smelling tofu milk, was deeply moved.
"My grandfather's grandfather started making tofu milk and was famous in the local area at that time. Including every fellow villager in the field who eats this tofu milk, they all say that they have eaten the taste of their mother. ”
As for the "secret", Kang Huabin said that since she can remember, the elders in the family have taken her to make tofu milk by hand. From soybean soaking to bean grinding, boiling pulp, bean dregs separation, pulping, boxing, pressing, cutting, cooling, hair enzyme fermentation, sealing and preservation, etc., it has gone through more than a dozen processes.
When the tofu is "fermented", gently pick it up with chopsticks, roll it in the seasoned chili, grated ginger, and fine salt, drizzle with local camellia oil, and put it piece by piece into a sealed jar to seal the mouth of the altar. After a week or so, the food that can be eaten for a whole year has been "conceived" successfully.
"At present, most of the tofu milk on the market is mechanized and produced on an assembly line. But we still insist on using the most traditional craftsmanship, so the taste will be delicate and silky. Kang Huabin said.
In addition to the traditional craft recipe, Ganxi Town's unique climatic conditions, excellent water quality and special fermentation flora have jointly created the quality of Ganxi tofu milk with bright red and oily appearance, delicate and soft in the mouth, and fragrant cheeks after tasting. Introduced by locals, Ganxi Town, is named after the water quality of the river. Ganxi originates from Shuangpai Chong in Yangqiao Town, is a third-level tributary of Weishui Water, flowing through dense forests, sweet and cold streams, hence the name Ganxi.
One side of the water and soil raises the other people. Kang Huabin, who took over the baton from his father, decided to inherit hundreds of years of traditional craftsmanship, expand the scale, improve product quality, expand the scale and improve product quality on the basis of adhering to the essence of traditional skills, expand and strengthen the Ganxi tofu milk brand, and drive local farmers to become rich and well-off.
