Guanyin tofu

Guanyin tofu, hawthorn tofu and bitter tofu are called tofu, but they have nothing to do with beans. Guanyin tofu is also called grass tofu, and its origin is quite magical. It is said that famine often occurred in Qimen in ancient times, and people often went hungry. After being known by Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is merciful and compassionate, she taught people to pick a wild leaf and make tofu to satisfy their hunger, hence the name Guanyin tofu. This kind of wild tree is called rotten maidservant, and its native name is smelly lady. It is a perennial shrub. Pick the young leaves that were newly developed that year, wash them, pour them into clear water, knead them into a paste by hand, and then filter the fallen leaves with a clean cloth. Then take an appropriate amount of plant ash, mix it evenly with water, and filter it into gray water. Pour the gray water into the leaf juice, stir it with chopsticks while pouring, and the leaf juice will gradually thicken and solidify, and the tofu will be made. Guanyin tofu is dark green and faintly transparent. Can cook, the entrance is greasy and soft, fragrant and cool, and it is also a good product for heatstroke prevention and cooling.
