　　It is said that at the time, vegetables and meat or fish were scarce in the mountains, so tofu was a common dish for Magu. Later, as she became immortal, “Magu Tofu” gained fame. To prepare it, the tofu is cut into cubes, blanched in boiling water for 5 minutes, and the egg whites are seasoned and steamed for 10 minutes. The steamed mixture is then poured out and diced. In a pan, oil is heated, and minced meat and sesame are stir-fried, then simmered in broth for 2 minutes. The tofu and diced egg whites are braised and seasoned, then coated with a thin starch slurry.
