2: The first time the tofu is fried, the oil needs to be 40 to 50% hot, and the tofu can be removed after it is shaped. For the second frying, the oil temperature should be increased to 70% or 80% hot, and the surface of the tofu must be deep-fried until it is crispy.
3: Fried tofu and making fish sauce should be operated at the same time.

Located in the middle of the Chengdu Plain, Pixian County is rich in rice, wheat, rapeseed, pea (broad beans), hemp, etc. due to the benefits of irrigation from Dujiangyan. The bean paste here is of good quality. The bean paste made from it as the main raw material is oily and red, the petals are crispy, with a heavier spicy flavor, sweet and delicious.
