Luojiang Bean Chicken

Luojiang Bean Chicken

　　Luojiang Bean Chicken, a famous snack from Deyang, enjoys high prestige in Sichuan cuisine and among numerous food industries, and is deeply loved by consumers.

　　The founder of Luojiang Bean Chicken, Yuan Tongru, also known as Chongda, was a devout Buddhist from childhood. In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), he became a monk under Master Changling at Luohan Temple in Shifang. Three years later, he left monastic life to make his way in the world. By chance, Yuan Tongru dined at a chicken feather restaurant and, having no side dish for his drink, the owner served him a plate of sesame oil bean curd skin. Inspired by the taste, he went home and experimented with soybeans to create a more delicious and tasty "bean chicken," which helped him make a living. Yuan Tongru repeatedly refined the craft of making bean chicken, and in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936), he produced the first batch of bean chicken to be exhibited at the Buddhist Food Exhibition during the Chengdu Flower Fair. It was granted a patent and awarded a gold-plated signboard, and from then on, bean chicken became widely renowned.
