Yushan Chicken Tofu Pudding

　　Chicken Tofu Pudding — Created by Xinyuan Restaurant in Yushan Town. This dish is made from premium chicken breast meat from free-range hens, locally produced sweet potato starch, and free-range eggs. The chicken breast is minced into a paste, egg whites are extracted, and an appropriate amount of high-quality starch is added along with other ingredients. It is then mixed with a suitable quantity of pure chicken broth and water, stirred evenly, cooked, and finally served with additional chicken broth. This dish is named for its resemblance to tofu pudding. It is milky white in color, with a slight golden hue of chicken broth seeping through, smooth yet not greasy, fragrant and enticing, comforting and delicious. Chicken Tofu Pudding is considered a fine delicacy in the border regions of Chongqing, Guizhou, Hunan, and Hubei. Seventy or eighty years ago, Huang ChaoHan from Yangjiaoqi introduced this technique to Yushan Town. Local chefs and residents eagerly learned the skill, passed it on, and innovated upon it, making Yushan Chicken Tofu Pudding famous throughout the surrounding areas.
