Beneath the pure white tofu pudding lies a touching story. During the Han Dynasty, Liu An, the King of Huainan, ground his mother’s favorite soybeans into a paste. After cooling and solidifying into a soft, jelly-like block, he served it to his bedridden mother. Later, he added gypsum from a doctor’s prescription, creating what we now know as tofu pudding. Today, it is served with vermicelli that has been boiled in bone broth, cooled, and then topped with ingredients such as pork intestines and dried bamboo shoots. The combination is savory, spicy, fragrant, and refreshing. Just the glossy white of the tofu pudding and the translucent vermicelli are enough to make your mouth water—but also hesitant to take the first bite. There's also another way to enjoy it: tofu pudding served with rock sugar syrup to make a sweet version, chilled until icy smooth, offering a refreshing treat perfect for beating the summer heat.
