Trivia
[For Health Conscious] Doufu Ru is called 'Oriental Cheese', a mass of umami condensed with amino acids. Just adding this transforms a mere cabbage stir-fry into a 'rich feast' like a blue cheese stir-fry. Even restricting meat during diets, Doufu Ru's richness completely satisfies the brain and stomach—the true essence of Taiwanese gastronomy.
