This bean curd bun, once appeared in "Dream of Red Mansions", is a snack that Jia Baoyu and Qingwen both like to eat. In the Qing Dynasty, tofu skins were used to make steamed buns. There were several methods. One was to wrap the stuffing with tofu skin and fold it into a square bag and steam it in a basket; the other was to cut the tofu skin into small pieces, which were closed with twine, and steamed to form. Jia Baoyu is a warm man. It was once when he had breakfast in Ningfu, "Thinking about you (Qingwen)'s favorite food, I told Grandma Zhen, I only said that I kept it for the evening and asked someone to bring it over." Mother Li has cut off her nonsense! The steamed tofu skin is very soft and tender, and a bite is tender and juicy. This flavor is only in heaven! Kill those kinds of buns in seconds, they are a hundred times more delicious than dumplings! Come and learn, everyone, many people don’t know how to do it, but it’s a pity!
