I recently finished watching China on the Bite of the Tongue and I like it very much. I started to look at the secrets of Chinese cuisine again. The spiciness in the third episode is really mouth-watering~~~ So Baidu took a look at the history of chili. It was introduced to China from the Americas at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was originally used as an ornamental crop and medicine.
There is another fact that surprised me. The earliest place to eat chili in China was not Sichuan! According to historical records, in the early Qing Dynasty, Guizhou and its neighboring areas first started to eat chili. In Guizhou, where salt was scarce, during the Kangxi period from 1662 to 1722) "soil seedlings were used to replace salt", peppers played a role in replacing salt, which shows that they are closely related to life. Starting from the Qianlong period (1736-1795), a large number of peppers were consumed in Guizhou. During the Qianlong period, Zhenxiong in Yunnan, adjacent to Guizhou, and Chenzhou Prefecture in Hunan, east of Guizhou, also began to eat spicy pepper. After Jiaqing (1796-1820), pepper cultivation became common in the provinces of Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, and Jiangxi. During Jiaqing, it was recorded that Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places had begun to "plant as vegetables".
As a native of Guiyang, I have found that I have been exposed to too many varieties and methods of pepper since I was a child~ I will introduce it to everyone if I have the opportunity to go back during the holiday. There is a chili brand in Guiyang, Guizhou, which is really well-known all over the world. I shouldn't need to say its name (I'm afraid that I will advertise) Haha. Today's dinner uses its chili peppers, so the name is "Qian style". The taste of this tofu pot is really nothing to say, and the nutrition is considered comprehensive. It is suitable for people who lose weight. It is a very happy thing to be able to eat the taste of hometown in a foreign land~~~ Don’t talk nonsense, come and see See! "

Ingredients

Qian Style Spicy Tofu Pot

1. In addition to two kinds of tofu, white tofu and fish tofu, prepare some of your favorite vegetables~~ But some vegetables are not delicious to cook, it depends on personal preference.

2. Putting two shiitake mushrooms is very flavorful, cut with a cross knife, it is delicious and attractive

3. The protagonist, white tofu, cut into even small cubes, one bite is most suitable

4. Put a proper amount of water in the pot, don’t make too much, add the chili after boiling, and add the fish tofu first when the aroma is cooked (because it needs to be boiled softly to be delicious)

5. The order in which the dishes are put is really important. The bean sprouts should also be put first to make the soup more delicious.

6. Then add shiitake mushrooms and white tofu in turn

7. Finally, I added vegetables (the shortest cooking time). I chose spinach and lettuce, which I personally think are more suitable.

8. You can almost put some ham in the cooking, and the power can be cut off when the soup is almost collected. Then add the green onion, and use the remaining heat to mix the aroma of the green onion into the tofu (this is my own imagination, haha)

9. Finished product~~! Forgive me for the bad photos taken (device restriction problem, wait for home to get the photos)

10. Let's eat~~Super delicious tofu pot, low fat and high vegetable protein

Tips:
As mentioned earlier, the whole process is indeed very simple, but some small details such as the type of dishes and the order in which they are placed are the key factors that affect the taste and taste of the final ingredients, but it also depends on personal preferences. .

This recipe is for friends who start to make their own food and love this way of eating. There is not much technical content, but as long as you eat happily.

ps: Chili is delicious, but don't eat too much. It's easy to get angry. Drink plenty of water.
