Meizhou, a thousand-year-old city, is known as the "Hakka Capital". People from the Central Plains "dressed up" moved here, which not only brought the atmosphere of top-grade study, but also formed their own Hakka food culture. Fried tofu the size of a matchbox into golden brown, stuffed with pork and fish stuffing, put chopped green onion and sesame oil, and simmered in a chicken soup casserole until it was fragrant. I think the Hakka people who came to Meizhou didn't have a pack of jiaozi for some time before they made such delicious food.
Stuffed tofu is a traditional dish of Hakka people.
During the Spring Festival, people in the Central Plains still eat jiaozi, which means "making friends at the age of four". After the Hakkas moved south from the Central Plains to eastern Guangdong, they remained vulgar. However, due to the warm climate in Lingnan, lack of wheat and flour, it is not easy for Hakkas in the hinterland of mountainous areas to have a meal in jiaozi. Later, someone came up with a flexible way to fill the stuffing from jiaozi into the tofu block. When jiaozi cooked it, it tasted different. This way of eating quickly spread throughout the Hakka area.
Sufu is a popular food with good quality and low price. First of all, the fillings are chopped mushrooms, squid, shrimp, pork and a small amount of salted fish. , mixed with proper amount of monosodium glutamate, white salt and starch, stuffed into the middle of fresh tofu blocks, steamed or braised, stewed or fried or boiled, and eaten after cooked. Stir-fry in the pot until it is half dark red, that is, braised tofu, sprinkled with a little onion, dipped in spiced sauce and eaten while it is hot. "salty fat" is full of flavor and has a unique flavor.
