Have you seen The Story of Qiu Ju? There are strings of red peppers in it, which are very nice, but they are for people to see. The dried peppers here are authentic Hunan specialties, which are not only beautiful, but also delicious. Of course, if you are from Hunan, you can eat spicy food. I didn't think there were so many ways to eat tofu. Some foods in Hunan are delicious. If you don't eat them, you will drool. Some smell good, others smell bad, but they all taste fragrant, crisp, cool and smooth. Of course, if you can eat Chili, don't blame me for spitting fire. After eating, I'm sure you're addicted. Your forehead is sweating and you're sweating, but you're still shouting "One more string" ...................................................................................................................................

Marinated tofu is pickled with fresh tofu, dried and roasted with fire. When eating, it is cooked, cut and put in Chili sauce (homemade, the main ingredient is Chili, and there are many unknown seasonings in it. This is an ancestral formula, and it won't be leaked. ) Dip it in, or add some Chili sauce and mix well. It tastes good and can be eaten. You can also eat it whole, or fry it in other meat, which is equally delicious.

Dried tofu has no halogen, add some salt and smoke it slowly with fire. Of course, it also hardens, and it is similar to marinated tofu.

It goes without saying that stinky tofu is sold in all the streets and alleys of Guangzhou. The smell is so wide that passers-by can't avoid it. Actually, it's delicious. It's authentic in Changsha, Hunan. It smells good (of course) and tastes even better. Come and have a try!

Never heard of moldy tofu. In my hometown, every family cooks this dish. It is usually made when the air is cold the day before the Spring Festival. First of all, it is fermented with tofu. When it grows to a few inches long, take it out and dip it in Chili powder, add chopped green onion, ginger, wine and so on. And then put it in a jar (big or small) and seal it for two or three days, then you can take it out and eat it. That smell, refreshing, refreshing.

Blood balls are also made of tofu, but there is pork in them. The practice is: drain the water first, tofu is often as hard as iron plate, then crush it by hand, chop the meat (half fat and half thin, otherwise it is too fat and too greasy, too thin and tasteless), mix it with pig blood, make meatballs, smoke them with fire for more than ten days, take them out and cook them, cut them into pieces, and eat them directly or stir-fry them in other meat or vegetables.

I believe everyone has eaten dried sweet potatoes, dried bamboo shoots and bacon, so I won't say much, but this is authentic goods from Hunan, and dried bamboo shoots are also called magnolia slices!
