　　Fermented Tofu Meat is a traditional famous dish of Jiaxing, with the version from Wuzhenmao Restaurant being particularly renowned. The dish primarily uses pork belly as the main ingredient, along with supporting ingredients such as rock sugar, fermented tofu brine, red yeast rice powder, and yellow rice wine. It is first boiled in a large pot, then transferred to a bowl and placed in a steamer to be gently steamed further. The meat turns tender and fluffy, with a rich and aromatic flavor. Fermented Tofu Meat stands out for its unique and delicious taste, and is deeply loved by the public. In the past, travelers from Shanghai, southern Jiangsu, and other regions who came to Jiaxing would often bring some back after tasting it themselves, either to give to relatives and friends or to share with their families.

　　After 1958, due to reasons such as the relocation and closure of food service outlets, Fermented Tofu Meat disappeared from the catering industry.
