Zhangshi Yellow Tofu

Zhangshi Yellow Tofu

　　Zhangshi Town is located downstream of the Qujiang River, nestled against mountains and beside water, enjoying abundant rainfall all year round. The area produces an ample harvest of soybeans, and making tofu during festivals and holidays is a must for every household. The soy milk is ground using stone mills, and the curds are coagulated with salt brine, preserving the traditional production methods from ancient stone-age times. Its tender and fresh flavor is even more delicious than that made by modern machinery. Especially, the surface is colored with wild yellow fruit juice, which not only eliminates the beany smell but also makes the tofu more vibrant. This has made it famous and well-known throughout northern Guangdong, considered truly unique.
