Wulian Tofu Banquet

Wulian Tofu Banquet

　　Wulian tofu has been famous throughout history, but the tofu from Jietou (Town) is the best in Wulian.

　　The tofu is made with brine, resulting in a white, tender, and refreshing texture. Especially during the soybean harvest season, every household makes tofu, filling the village with the rich aroma of beans that makes it hard to leave. The tofu banquet is actually a process of tofu preparation: you start with soy milk, then soybean curd, followed by eating tofu, then stir-fried tofu dregs, and finally tofu soup. It is served with seasonings made from green and red chili peppers, scallions, and cilantro, paired with Jietou pancakes (made by peeling sweet potatoes, grinding them into pulp, and cooking them on a griddle—dark brown in color with snow-white, paper-thin texture), making it a true rural delicacy.
