When you were pregnant, you would love to eat the small package of dried bean curd in the supermarket, which was dozens of yuan per catty. At that time, you could really eat a catty at a time!
I haven't bought it for a few years. It's not that I don't like it anymore. It's just that I can control my mouth after being born, and I rarely eat snacks.
I just made chili oil this time, and when I remembered, I went to the supermarket to buy more than a pound of dried tofu.
I wanted to keep it and eat it slowly, but it was so delicious that I couldn’t stop it. I couldn’t help but I ate it in just over a pound. Fortunately, I took a photo first, otherwise I would have to wait for the next time to make it.
In addition, the MSG in the recipe is a seasoning package thrown away after someone in the family ate a pack of instant noodles (because there is usually no chicken essence MSG in the house). "

Ingredients

650g Dried Tofu
2 Star Anise

Tips:
1. Be sure to buy the kind of very hard bean curd, otherwise it will not chewy.
2. The instant noodle seasoning packet in the ingredients is the monosodium glutamate that is usually not used for instant noodles. It can be replaced with chicken essence or other monosodium glutamate.
3. The dried bean curd is scalded with boiling water for a while and it will be picked up immediately, and it will not be chewy after cooking for a long time.
4. Be sure to wait for the cooked juice to cool before putting the dried tofu in.
5. It takes at least half a day for the soaking time to be delicious. If it is summer, it is best to put it in the refrigerator, the longer it is, the more delicious it will be.
