Trivia
[For Health Conscious] An absolute staple always in steel trays at Taiwanese buffets (Zizhu Can). Often eaten cold (Liangban), but frying warm highlights the tofu's soy aroma. Eating massive 100% soy noodles (Dougan Si) means high protein and near-zero carbs. The ultimate pasta/noodle sub during diets.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Adding a little shredded pork (Rou Si) and frying together lets pork fat permeate the tofu, transforming it into a splendid main dish making rice unstoppable!
