Shiyan Lazy Tofu

　　When it comes to "lazy," "lazy bean dregs" truly lives up to its name. All you need to do is soak the soybeans, grind them in a mill, without pressing or filtering, then toss them straight into the pot to cook together with rice and Chinese cabbage. Sometimes corn is also added to bind everything together, creating what’s called "mixed dregs rice." The main side dish is often a soup made with chili and coriander, or minced pickled chilies turned into a tangy broth poured over the rice. Both of these "lazy meals" showcase the host’s warm hospitality, treating guests to an extra dose of nutrition.
