Preserved egg tofu is a famous dish of the Han nationality, one of the common home-cooked dishes and cold dishes in all parts of China; it is made of internal fat tofu, mustard, preserved egg, sesame oil, coriander and other raw materials to make a delicious delicacy. It is simple to make, rich in nutrition, and clears away heat. It is rich in a variety of nutrients needed by the human body. When it comes to the origin of the dish, there is also a beautiful legend, which is said to be related to Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms period. Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, after Liu Bei borrowed troops from the Soochow, he led his troops to attack Xichuan, leaving Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. This summer, the weather was very hot, and the soldiers practiced martial arts against the sun, all sweating. After a long period of time, many soldiers had internal fires, their stools were dry and crusty, their urine was red and yellow, and their mouths were dry and tongues. Guan Yu was very anxious. One day, Guan Yu was alone in the study and meditated. Unconsciously, he went three poles a day, and his subordinates brought food, including some braised soybeans. Guan Yu immediately thought of tofu. It was said in medical books that plaster is cold and can dispel fire, so you might as well try it. Guan Yu instructed the sergeant to soak the beans, boil the milk, and put the plaster on his own hands. Because the plaster is lighter, the tofu is tender and cannot be fried. Soldiers can only eat it with salt, which is a coincidence. This kind of tofu is like a good medicine. Soldiers slowly healed after taking it. Later, some Jiangling sergeants mixed preserved eggs from their hometown with soft tofu, and added seasonings, which not only tasted delicious, but also cleared heat and detoxified, and it has become a famous dish that has been passed down to this day.
