Tips:

1. Soft tofu is selected for tofu, which is more smooth than the mouth, and is more popular with children.
2. After the tofu is cut into small pieces, add water and salt to a pot and boil it so that the tofu is not easy to break. If you use internal fat tofu, after removing the packaging, let it be steamed for 15-20 minutes, and it will not spread easily.
3. Don't use a spatula when frying the tofu, use the spatula to be gently pushed.
4. Because the tofu has been blanched with salt and water, bean paste and light soy sauce are added, no salt is added at the back to keep it spicy and fresh, and no water is added.
