How do you make cold roti?

Bean curd is eaten in many ways, it and a variety of meat fried, deep-fried, boiled, stewed, hot pot, cold, spicy and so on can be, whether as a main dish or side dishes, can be cooked out of the color and fragrance of the delicacies. The following is an introduction to a common bean curd dishes - cold bean curd: Ingredients: 300 grams of bean curd, 100 grams of carrots, salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, garlic, peppercorns, pepper, chili oil in moderation. Practice: cut the soaked bamboo into segments, and then cook for a few moments, fish out and drain the water, plate.

Bean curd, also known as margarine, is a high quality, high protein food, rich in nutrients and calories, suitable for delicacies and delicacies to cook and also easy to preserve and store.

Bean curd making is the essence of the bean will that you get when you grind the soybeans, spot brine and steam them. Just like we roll and boil dairy products to get a creamy skin. It is raised and rolled to make a bamboo stick shape and after drying it becomes roti.

Buddhists are forbidden to eat meat and meat, however, there are many Buddhist dishes that are very nutritious and famous. Buddha jumps over the wall through the bottle incense, is a mountain treasures and mushrooms with soy products, made of famous vegetarian dishes.

Soy products are rich in protein and dietary nutrients and are known as the crown of vegetarian artificial meat. It gives people calories and needed nutrients, so soy products are often made in monasteries.

Soy products stand out the most as the main source of plant protein for people. Bean curd is the driest of the soy products and has the highest protein content, including, of course, the other nutrients from soybeans.

Bean curd is somewhat like soybean oil skin, but not soybean oil skin. Ancient soybean oil skin production, soybean grinding into pulp, boiling in a large iron pot, soybean paste in the oil floating to the surface, knotted oil skin, stretching bamboo stick down to pick up, hang out to dry, is the traditional soybean oil skin, Guangshan called "tofu tendons. Soybean oil skin is the most essence of soybean products, the most expensive. Gwangshan a small cabbage fried bean tendon, is a traditional folk home cooking, very delicious, but unfortunately the price is high, do not go out.

Today's production of rotis is not like this. The previous procedure is the same, soaking soybeans and grinding them, boiling them. The only thing that is not the same is the picking of soybean tendons. Traditional practice, a pot of soybean milk, can only pick a few sheets of ten sheets, and then can not pick out, oil pick out. Plus pick out the soybean oil tofu is not tasty, connoisseurs know, buy handmade tofu first smell, soybean milk aroma, are still available to buy. Otherwise do not, the flavor is much worse. Bean curd is not the same, which is added with additives, you can put a pot of soybean milk all the way to the end, not a waste.

Plus how to pick the rotis for the market. This is a technical job, I'm not very sure I can pick a good bean curd. To buy tofu soybean oil skin, often buy the few tofu workshops, but also to ensure the quality of tofu. However, it is not easy to recognize the bean curd, for example, is not to turn that because of the soybean ah? Is not a strict program to pick the system ah? The outside looks the same, the inside is not dare to say. In addition, there are many ways to produce bean curd, mechanized, workshop method, handmade and so on, and there are even "artificial meat" mixed in to pretend to be. When you buy, you only have to be sure of yourself.
