　　Preparation: 1. The “buckwheat noodles” are made from high-quality buckwheat grains ground into fine flour, with no other ingredients added to preserve the original flavor of the buckwheat. The finished noodles are slightly thicker and longer than regular noodles. 2. The “tofu pudding” is made by grinding soybeans into soy milk, coagulating it with sour water to form soft tofu, and then cooking it in fresh soy milk, resulting in a fine, tender, and soft texture. 3. The “seasonings” include spicy pickled chili sauce, monosodium glutamate, salt, Sichuan peppercorn, minced ginger, garlic water, chopped scallions, and other condiments. 4. When eating, the cooked tofu pudding is placed in a bowl and covered with the cooked buckwheat noodles. A small dish of mixed seasonings is served on the side. Use chopsticks to dip the noodles and tofu pudding into the seasoning mixture and enjoy.
