Hawthorn bean curd

The raw material of hawthorn tofu is the fruit of oak tree, also called oak chestnut, which is edible. As early as Liezi Shuo Fu, there is a saying that "oak chestnut is eaten in winter". Pick up the oak chestnut from the mountain, dry it, remove the hard shell, grind the pulp into fine powder, and screen out the coarse residue. Boil a pot of water, pour in oak chestnut powder when it boils slightly, and stir well. When it thickens and solidifies, take it out, spread it, and cut it into blocks. The raw material of Castanopsis eyrei tofu is Castanopsis eyrei fruit, also known as Castanopsis eyrei, which is a common tree in southern Anhui with edible seeds like Castanopsis eyrei. "Compendium of Materia Medica" by Li Shizhen in Ming Dynasty said: "Taro seeds are found everywhere in the valley, and raw food is bitter. Cooking and frying are sweet, and they can also be ground into powder.
