“Datong Tea-Flavored Dried Tofu” has been produced since the Ming Dynasty. Its production involves careful coagulation, fine-mesh sieving of the soy milk, and wrapping each tofu blank in gauze before pressing it tightly on a board. The white tofu is then soaked in a brine made from shiitake mushrooms, star anise, licorice, rock sugar, and original soy sauce for eight hours, after which it is boiled. Once taken out, it is mixed with sesame oil. As a result, it is square-shaped, thin, elastic, and chewy (a single piece can be rolled into a small tube). It has a distinctive style—bright color, rich flavor, delicious taste, and long-lasting chewiness. In earlier years, pilgrims from all over China and countries such as India who visited the Buddhist sacred site Jiuhua Mountain would stop in Datong and buy some of this tea-flavored dried tofu to meet their vegetarian dietary needs. As a result, Datong Tea-Flavored Dried Tofu gained increasing fame. There are also varieties such as ham-flavored, dried shrimp, pouch-packed, and stinky tofu.
