Gaobeidian Dried Tofu Strips

Gaobeidian Dried Tofu Strips

　　Also known as tofu tendon. Produced in Gaobeidian, Hebei.

　　Made from locally grown soybeans, the production process includes selection, soaking, grinding, boiling, filtering, coagulating, pressing, slicing, simmering, and bundling. The grinding process uses a coarse grinding method with fine gauze filtration, resulting in a pure texture, strong elasticity, and chewy mouthfeel. The simmering process uses seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorn, nutmeg, and star anise, with carefully controlled heat and timing to ensure the flavors and color penetrate the strips without making them soft or breaking them apart. As a result, they have a bright color and fragrant taste, with neatly arranged strands. Their pale white color comes in tied bundles, offering a savory and salty flavor that pairs perfectly with alcohol or rice.
