Hanshan Dried Tofu Slices

Hanshan Dried Tofu Slices

　　Hanshan Dried Tofu Slices are exquisitely made — a single block can be sliced into over ten layers. When cut, the slices are as fine as threads, as soft as silk, yet tough and unbroken enough to thread a needle. The tofu is briefly simmered in rich broth to absorb the flavor, then seasoned with various condiments. It is topped with dried shrimp, diced ham, shredded tender ginger, shredded green and red chili peppers, egg crepe strips, and thinly sliced blanched seasonal vegetables arranged over the plated tofu. Drizzled with sesame oil, the dish is tender, refreshing, and leaves a lingering aftertaste. It is not only an indispensable breakfast delicacy but also an excellent accompaniment to drinks when entertaining guests. With its unique flavor, it enjoys widespread fame.
