In the streets and alleys of Lin'an, you will find a local snack with a unique flavor - Changhua oil dried tofu.
Unlike other dried goods, dried oil tofu is made of water. After the round soybeans are ground into juice with water, the tofu milk is clumped with salt brine, compacted and cut into small pieces, fried in boiling oil into crispy yellow, then spices are added, and then baked dry with charcoal. Simple and not simple Changhua oil dried tofu will become.
Don't look at this tofu dry and unassuming, once, this is the children's favorite snack after school. Previously, the economy of the Liangchang area was relatively backward, and children rarely had the opportunity to eat snacks, so smart mothers changed their ways to make various snacks, and Changhua oil dried tofu was one of them.
Now there are many food companies in Lin'an who have specially developed a series of dried oil tofu products, adding modern elements to the production process, and there are more choices in taste, but it is still better than the dried tofu made by the farmers.
According to aunt Xu, a citizen, her hometown is in Zhuliu Village, Qingliangfeng Town, when she was a child, she grew up eating dried tofu, although now the family has moved to the city, but every New Year, she always has to go back to her hometown, entrust relatives and friends to help buy some dried tofu, used as a platter during the Spring Festival. "Now people, all over the country, imported, what delicious food has not eaten, but we Changhua people make their own snacks, they want to eat can not eat." Aunt Xu said happily that she knew a few people who were still making dried oil and tofu, and they could buy a lot when they were hungry.
Memories are often beautiful, with the development of social economy, today's children no longer have to worry about eating snacks, mothers do not need to spend their own efforts to make snacks, Changhua oil dried tofu has gradually faded out of people's sight, leaving only the pure fragrance.
