Authentic Qianxian tofu brain
Every morning and evening in the streets and alleys of Xi'an, you can see stalls selling tofu brains, and the signs of the stalls without exception read "Qianxian Tofu Brain". But it tastes like a variety of flavors, all kinds of flavors, each with its own advantages.
In people's word of mouth, Qianxian tofu brain is indeed an incomprehensible existence, and there is even a saying that "out of Qianxian County, there is no Qianxian tofu brain". In the eyes of people in Guanzhong, Shaanxi, Qianxian tofu brain is indeed a rare delicacy, not only a household name, but also only recognizes the Qianxian signboard.
Qianxian tofu brain outside Qianxian County
In Qianxian County, we made a field visit.
The production method of local tofu brain in Qianxian is very simple, select the best soybeans, soak in water, grind into soy milk, use edible gypsum to point soy milk, cover for about five minutes, out of the pot, but the amount of gypsum and its precision. When the amount is less, the tofu brain will scatter into bean blossoms; if it is used more, it will become a piece and become a tender tofu.
When out of the pot, use a special spoon, layer by layer into a small bowl (Qianxian tofu brain pays attention to eating small bowls), with salt, vinegar, garlic water, oil and spicy seeds. Compared with xi'an's tofu brain, the authentic Qianxian tofu brain does not have excess soup, the color is brighter, and a smell of oil comes to the face. This is the authentic Qianxian tofu brain.
Finally a spoonful of oil pungent seeds
Even if you know the production method of Qianxian tofu brain, even the local producers of Qianxian County, out of Qianxian County, the tofu brain made is not an authentic taste. Same plaster powder, same dosage, same simmering time, same seasoning and oily spicy seeds.
In the local area, "out of qianxian county, there is no longer qianxian tofu brain". Legend has it that when the tofu brain was built in Qianling, the workers inadvertently dropped the plaster into the soy milk, found the condensation, and then put some spices, which tasted quite delicious and looked like brain flowers, so they came.
Many people who make tofu brain in the local area have also explored the reasons why tofu brain has changed out of Qianxian County, and the last thing that everyone agreed on was that it stemmed from water quality problems. The local tofu brain in Qianxian county uses natural groundwater, and the water quality around the county town is the same, and out of the county, the water quality in other places has differences, so even if all the processes and ingredients are the same, they can't do the local lubrication of Qianxian County, which is why Qianxian tofu brain, out of Qianxian can no longer eat the reason.
In Qianxian, there are several well-known tofu brains that can be recommended to everyone:
1, 30 meters west of the high-speed station, old Zhao family tofu brain;
2, 200 meters west of the high-speed station, Gou Bajia tofu brain (the most famous);
3. On the west side of the first square in Qianxian County, Wangjia tofu brain;
4. Tofu brain in the southeast corner of the south cross of Qianxian County.
The tofu brain in these places is more famous, the tofu brain is well done, the taste is even more beautiful drooling, with a soft oil pot helmet, the appetite is greatly increased.
Pay attention to the "love to eat a street", search for food from all over the country, go where to eat, and make essential headlines all the time.
