　　Dried Tofu Strips

　　Dried Tofu Strips, also known as tofu tendons, are produced in Gaobeidian, Hebei. Gaobeidian Dried Tofu Strips are made from locally grown soybeans. The production process includes selection, soaking, grinding into pulp, boiling, removing residue, coagulating, pressing into sheets, cutting into strips, simmering in brine, and bundling. Among these, the pulp grinding step adopts a method of coarse grinding followed by fine filtration using fine gauze, resulting in a pure texture, strong elasticity, and a chewy bite. The simmering brine includes seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorn, nutmeg, and star anise. The timing and heat are carefully controlled to ensure the flavors penetrate the strips without making them soft or breaking apart. As a result, Gaobeidian Dried Tofu Strips have a vibrant color and delicious taste, with neatly arranged strips. These strips are milky white in color, bundled, savory and salty in flavor, making them an excellent pairing with alcohol or rice, and they are highly popular in the market.
