Tips:
1. Southern tofu is very tender, so be careful after taking it out, it will break if you are not careful;
2. Southern tofu is soft, tender, smooth and elastic, and has a relatively large moisture content. Before cooking, you need to boil a pot of salted water and blanch the tofu into pieces. Due to osmotic pressure, some of the water in the tofu will precipitate. In this way, it can maintain its integrity and lay the foundation for subsequent cooking;
3. Sprinkle a layer of starch on the surface to prevent the meat from falling out, and to better bond the meat and tofu together to ensure that it will not fall off during frying. Secondly, it can form a shell outside the food after frying. Protect the tofu from being fried;
